Arsenal’s injury problems in midfield have, apparently, led to Francis Coquelin’s loan spell at Charlton cut short.

Just last week the Championship side announced that the French midfielder would be staying until the end of the December. However, training pictures today show Coquelin involved as the Arsenal squad prepare for the game against Newcastle tomorrow.

With reports that Aaron Ramsey could miss 4 weeks with a hamstring strain, along with the absences of Jack Wilshere and Mikel Arteta, Arsene Wenger obviously feels he needs to take his Coq out of Charlton’s grasp.

The fact that he can also play as a full-back, with appearances on the both the left and the right, means he can provide cover for Nacho Monreal who is absent with a foot injury.

Arseblog News is glad to welcome back our Coq and hopes it’s all nice and fresh if called upon tomorrow.
