Full-back Bacary Sagna will reportedly step up his recovery from a broken leg during Arsenal's Under-21 encounter against Reading tonight.
The 29-year-old has been out of action since suffering the injury during a challenge with Norwich City's Bradley Johnson in May of this year.
Reports had claimed that the defender would not return to action until December at the earliest.
However, the France international will feature at Underhill this evening against the Royals, according to the London Evening Standard.
England midfielder Jack Wilshere is also expected to play some part in the match.
