Arsenal defender Mathieu Debuchy has targeted a return to action in December as he steps up his recovery from an ankle injury.
The 29-year-old sustained the injury in Arsene Wenger's side's 2-2 draw with Manchester City in September, and surgery was required to mend the problem.
However, the France international is now on the comeback trail and is hopeful of a return to the pitch next month.
"My injury is now better," Debuchy told the club's official website. "I work hard every day with the physio and I want to be back on the pitch in December. I'm looking forward to it.
"I was really proud when I signed for Arsenal and it has been frustrating getting injured so soon, but I am focused on coming back stronger. I am very positive about that.
"Training at Arsenal is an extremely high standard. I'm nearly 30 but I'm still improving by training with players who are of such a high quality, like everyone at Arsenal."
Debuchy joined the Gunners in a £12m deal from Newcastle United in July.
