Arsenal goalkeeper Wojciech Szczesny will reportedly return to first-team action for their Premier League trip to Manchester United on Saturday.

The 22-year-old has been out of action for six weeks with an ankle injury, but it is understood that he returned to training on Monday.

According to Goal.com, the club's League Cup tie with Reading on Tuesday will come too soon, but the Pole is in line to start at Old Trafford.

He has made just two appearances for the Gunners this season due to a host of injury complaints, but it is understood that Arsene Wenger is happy with his general fitness.

Arsenal currently occupy sixth spot in the Premier League.
