Wojciech Szczesny eyes Arsenal resurgence

Wojciech Szczesny has rallied his Arsenal teammates to use the international break as respite before getting their season back on track.

Arsenal head into the two-week interval on the back of their first Premier League defeat after Sunday's 2-0 reverse at Chelsea - a loss that leaves the Gunners nine points adrift of the high-flying Blues.

Arsene Wenger's side have drawn four of their seven league outings thus far, and the Polish goalkeeper wants a big improvement once the domestic calendar resumes.

"We have had a tough run so far, but I would like to think that our start has been solid, not as good as we expected from ourselves," he told Sky Sports News.

"But I believe that, after the international break, we can push on and get more points."

Arsenal face Hull City at the Emirates Stadium on October 18.
