Arsenal head coach Mikel Arteta has said that defender Oleksandr Zinchenko is close to returning to the pitch.
"I think Zinchenko is close to returning. He will start training with the team. We hope he will return very soon," Arsenal's official website quoted Arteta as saying.
It will be recalled that Zinchenko was injured at the end of last season, which is why he missed his team's training this summer.
