Gunners flyer close to return

(03-09-2010) Flying Arsenal winger Samir Nasri is on course for a faster than expected return from a knee injury. The Frenchman required surgery after picking up a problem in the Gunners opening game of the season against Liverpool. He was expected to be out for over a month but could now be back in contention for the visit of Bolton after the international break. However, the news on the club’s other crocked players, Robin van Persie (ankle) and Nicklas Bendtner (groin), is not good and they remain someway off full fitness.
