Gabriel Jesus isn't the only Arsenal player nearing a return to action following injury as OGC Nice head coach Didier Digard has delivered a positive update on Nicolas Pepe.
The winger, who is still contracted to the Gunners for at least another 14 months, joined the Ligue 1 outfit on a season-long loan deal towards the end of last summer's transfer window and has been making the most of regular game time by netting eight goals across all competitions.
However, he's not made an appearance since the goalless draw against Reims - featuring fellow Arsenal loanee Folarin Balogun - on January 15, with Digard confirming that Pepe was set for a spell on the sidelines due to the Ivory Coast international suffering from "tendonitis" in his knee.
