Olivier Giroud to return for Aston Villa clash?

Olivier Giroud is vying for a place in Arsenal's lineup for Monday's trip to Aston Villa, a report suggests.

Arsenal have been boosted by the news that Olivier Giroud could return to the starting lineup for Monday's Premier League clash with Aston Villa.

The French striker, who has scored eight league goals so far this season, has missed the last two games through illness and ankle problems, leaving manager Arsene Wenger short of options up front.

However, the Daily Mail reports that the 27-year-old has now returned to full training and could be involved at Villa Park, where the Gunners will be looking to keep their place at the top of the table.

Meanwhile, Nicklas Bendtner is not expected to return from an ankle injury until the end of the month.
