Bacary Sagna could be fit in time for the start of the season after confirming he is already running again just two months after breaking his leg.
The Arsenal right-back sustained the injury in the club’s final game of the last campaign against Norwich at Emirates Stadium.
The blow came just seven months after breaking the same leg in the north London derby against Tottenham.
The France international, who missed out on playing at the European Championships, has spent the summer break concentrating on his rehabilitation.
It was feared that he may have to wait until September to make his first team return but his recovery appears to be ahead of schedule.
Sagna said on his twitter account today: “Back to my life in London after time off/rehab in middle east. I started running again without any pain.”
