Arsenal have been handed a huge boost in pre-season as midfielder Mohamed Elneny has hinted at his return from injury on social media. The 30-year-old suffered a serious knee injury in late January during a training session that resulted in him missing the rest of the campaign.
While not a mainstay in the team, the influence of the Egyptian international cannot be understated, having become one of the leadership figures in the squad. Elneny played a key role in helping the squad in cup matches too, often featuring in domestic competitions to help rotate the squad.
Shortly after his injury, the midfielder signed a new one-year contract extension that will keep him at the club until summer 2024. With another option in the central ranks for next season, Mikel Arteta will be boosted by his presence in pre-season training as Elneny posted an image on Instagram in the gym at London Colney, saying: "Back [home emoji]."
