Arsenal left-back Oleksandr Zinchenko is hoping to return to action against Sheffield United next week.
The Ukrainian international has not played since being taken off at half-time during the Gunners’ 3-1 win over Liverpool earlier this month.
It is believed that Zinchenko picked up a calf injury during that match and he has missed the four subsequent fixtures against West Ham, Burnley, Porto and Newcastle.
However, the defender is expected to step up his comeback this week with an increased workload in training to give him the best possible chance of making the squad for the trip to Bramall Lane.
