Lucas Perez will continue his rehab from an ankle injury back in Spain.

The Spanish striker was hobbled by Reading’s clogger, Danzell Gravenberch, during the EFL Cup clash last month.

He was since ruled out for around 8 weeks and tonight he announced that has been allowed to return to his former club to carry out his rehab at ‘home’.

Contento de que @Arsenal y @RCDeportivo hayan aceptado que venga a recuperarme a Coruña. https://t.co/F7ct8KsK5k — Lucas Pérez (@LP10oficial) November 9, 2016

The 28 year old is expected back in action towards the end of December, and Arsenal will be hoping that he can play a part in the busy festive fixture period.

In his 6 appearances (3 starts, 3 sub), the £17m signing made 3 assists and score 2 goals, so having him back would be a real bonus at a critical part of the season.

They also have really good seafood in that part of Spain, so all that fish oil will help.
