Wales midfielder plays for the first time in nine months

Aaron Ramsey took the first steps to recovery as he played 45 minutes for Arsenal's reserves against Wolves. The 19-year-old suffered a double leg break in February following a tackle from Stoke's Ryan Shawcross. Ramsey came through the half unscathed and displayed some of his old touches as his journey to full fitness continues. Arsene Wenger, though, is not expected to include the midfielder in his first-team plans for some time yet, but is monitoring his fitness closely.
