It's been a long road back, but Kido Taylor-Hart finally made his return to Under-23s football in Arsenal's clash with Manchester United on Friday night. The Hale Ender began the season as a regular in Kevin Betsy's Under-23s side, scoring a brace in August's 2-1 victory over Tottenham in North London Derby only for a pubic overload to see him sidelined for four months.
Having been with the club since the age of seven, Taylor-Hart is viewed as one of the most exciting prospects in an academy that has had a track record for producing crucial first team talents like Bukayo Saka, Emile Smith Rowe and Eddie Nketiah. The 19-year-old signed his first professional contract last summer and was being considered by several Championship and League One clubs for a January loan before his injury in December ended any prospects of a move.
Now though, he has made his return and was part of the Under-23s side who travelled up to Old Trafford for a Premier League 2 clash on Friday night. After such a lengthy layoff it would have been easy to expect him to look a little rusty, but if his display against United is anything to go by, Taylor-Hart looks absolutely raring to go.
