Arsenal have confirmed that midfielder Aaron Ramsey has been pencilled in to make his first ‘competitive’ appearance for the club in nine months after being included in the reserve squad that will take on Everton’s second string at London Colney tonight.

Ramsey returned to light training a few weeks ago after spending the previous eight months undergoing intense rehabilitation for the shattered tibia and fibula he sustained at the tail-end of February courtesy of Stoke defender Ryan Shawcross.

Huzzah!
