Serge Gnabry says he is “feeling much better” after playing his first game in four months, for Arsenal Under-21s at Newcastle United.
Gnabry initially made his comeback from a long-term injury against Blackburn Rovers Under-21s in October, and played the following reserve game against Stoke City before suffering a setback.
However, the forward returned to play 65 minutes at St James’ Park on Monday and he believes he has put the worst behind him.
"It’s been a long time for me, a rough time - about 11 months - so I’m just happy to be back out there"

“I’ve had two weeks of training behind me, I’ve had my first game and I’m feeling good. I’m not in pain anymore so [I’ll return] as soon as, hopefully.
“I’m feeling good. I’m feeling much better than I did in October. It’s been a long time for me, a rough time - about 11 months - so I’m just happy to be back out there and I feel good.
“I’ve just got to keep pushing. Training’s very important but obviously I haven’t played in three or four months and I’m still a bit rusty. I hope it gets better with with the more games I get.”
