Arsenal’s injured defender Sol Campbell expects to be back in action for the Premiership champions next month.
The centre-back is currently recovering from an Achilles problem which will also rule him out of England’s World Cup qualifiers away at Austria on September 4th and at Poland four days later.
“I am in good shape,” he told Sky Sports on Sunday. “It is coming along and hopefully it will be another three weeks.
“I need at least 10 days to two weeks’ pre-season work, but it is good.”
Manager Arsène Wenger has said Campbell would start training with the first team on Monday with the possibility of a return for Arsenal’s first Champions League group game on September 14th or 15th.
