Arsenal striker Olivier Giroud returns to training next week.

Giroud, who broke his leg in August while playing against Everton, has played just four games for the Gunners so far this season.

Arsene Wenger has revealed Giroud is ahead of schedule as the 28-year-old was originally supposed to be out until the new year.
