He’s back.

Arsenal captain Cesc Fabregas will make his long-awaited comeback on Sunday, at the Reebok, against Bolton.

The Spaniard’s last appearance for the Gunners was the wonderful display in the second half against Aston Villa, after which, the captain had to be sidelined for weeks.

Speaking to TV Online, manager Arsene Wenger also provided an update on Gael Clichy, Denilson and Nicklas Bendtner.

He said:

Fabregas [is back]. And we are very happy to have him back.

Gael Clichy is available and he might be in the squad as well on Sunday. I don’t want to go overboard with Gael because he has been out for a long time but he looks very, very sharp in training.

As for Denilson, we’ll have to assess his situation on Friday. At the moment I count him out. It is an abdominal muscle problem but we don’t think it will be long term. He still has a chance to play at Bolton if not he should be, maximum, one more week.

Nicklas Bendtner is two weeks [away]. He is making good progress but he has been out for seven or eight weeks now so he will need three or four games to be completely fit again. But he has made a big step forward in the last three or four days so we are quite optimistic for him.
