Arsenal's Alexandre Lacazette expected to return after international break

Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger has claimed that Alexandre Lacazette is expected to be back to full fitness after the international break.

The Frenchman has been on the sidelines since mid-February with a knee injury that required surgery.

Now, Wenger has revealed that his attacker has returned to training, but is not likely to be available for selection until the end of the month.

During his pre-match press conference, the Arsenal manager told reporters: "[Lacazette] is on track. He had a full session outside today. He should be available after the break."

In 28 appearances in all competitions, the forward has scored nine goals and created three assists.
