Alexandre Lacazette has provided Arsenal fans with an update on his injury.

The striker has been out of action since undergoing knee surgery following the 1-0 defeat to Tottenham nearly two weeks ago.

His absence has left Arsene Wenger heavily restricted in the attacking department, particularly in the Europa League, where Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang is cup-tied.

Lacazette is expected to be out for a further month, but the 26 year-oldĀ is already back in the gym and posted a picture of himself using a leg press machine.

Prior to his injury, the former Lyon striker had been having a tough time in front of goal scoring just once in his previous 10 games.

The arrival of Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang has given the striker with tough competition to reclaim a regular starting place.

A return date on the pitch could occur against either West Ham on April 21 or Manchester United on April 28 with a return to first team training likely to begin at the start of April.
