​Arsenal forward Welbeck feeling better about injuries ahead of FA Cup final

Arsenal striker Danny Welbeck says he is feeling better after finally overcoming his recent injury problems.

The England international has missed the better part of last two seasons due to back-to-back knee injuries.

"It has been difficult obviously coming back from injury and getting into the team and out of it," Welbeck said.

"I have just got to make sure I'm integrated well into the team, not just a certain amount of games one after the other.

"My body has got to get used to the training load and playing in the matches so you do get your niggles here and there, it's something you have got to cope with. But I feel like I'm coping pretty well and have had no major reaction with my knee.

"I've not [played three games in a week]," Welbeck added. "But I'm looking forward to building on the stage I'm at at the moment and obviously in the future I hope I will be playing three games in a week."
