Jack Wilshere continued his comeback from injury by playing 90 minutes for Arsenal's reserves against Chelsea on Wednesday.
The midfielder, who has been sidelined for over a year with a serious ankle injury, took part in a full game for the first time since he started his rehabilitation programme.
The 20-year-old is expected to feature again for the reserves when they visit Everton on Monday.
Emmanuel Frimpong also took part on Wednesday as he looks to make his return from a knee injury.
