The right-back has returned fit and firing for the Gunners.
Arsenal full-back Carl Jenkinson has been pictured back in training for the first time since he suffered a torn knee ligament back in February.
The right-back was enjoying a second loan spell at West Ham United before the setback and he returned to North London to begin the long road to recovery.
That now appears to be all but complete, with images on Twitter – courtesy of Andrew Couldridge (via Jeorge Bird’s Twitter account) – showing the former Charlton Athletic player on the training field along with the likes of Santi Cazorla and Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain.
Jenkinson has featured 57 times for Arsenal to date, scoring one goal and providing five assists in the process. But he has a battle on his hands to usurp Hector Bellerin as the Gunners’ first-choice right-back.
Much could depend on just how long the Spaniard remains at the Emirates Stadium, but if Bellerin opts to commit his long-term future to Arsenal, Jenkinson may have to move on permanently to secure the regular football his talent deserves.
