Ramsey eager to return to action

Midfielder Aaron Ramsey says that he's eager to get back to action after making good progress recovering from a double fracture suffered in February.

The Welsh international fractured the fibula and tibia of his right leg in a reckless challenge with Stoke defender Ryan Shawcross and was ruled out for around nine months.

But manager Arsène Wenger revealed earlier today that Ramsey had taken a significant step forward in terms of his recovery, and could even be back on the field before the end of November.

Ramsey said: "I think I'm on track, the target is November time. I'm just doing my pre-season work now, trying to get a bit of spring back in my right leg, but apart from that all is going well so far.

"I've been doing strengthening exercises for a long time now and I'm starting to feel the benefits.

"I'm now outside training with the fitness coach and I feel good.

"I'm doing a little bit of ball work around mannequins and it feels great to be back outside, kicking the ball around again.

"I hate being in the gym. That's the worst bit about this.

"It's much better to be out in the air with a ball or even just running, I don't mind that. I just want to be out of the building."
