Wenger Sets Cole Return Date

Ashley Cole has been out for 3 months after breaking his foot, but there is now light at the end of the tunnel

Cole suffered the injury playing against Birmingham in early October, and the Gunners have clearly missed the England left back.

Arsenal reserves face their Crytal Palace counterparts on 26th January, and Cole is expected to play to gain match fitness.

Wenger said ‘Ashley will return to the full squad on the 16th and we hope that by February 1 he will be fully match-fit’
