Straight-up Sagna ready to return

BACARY SAGNA is set to relieve Arsenal’s defensive injury crisis and return to the first-team in the next few weeks.

The French right-back, who broke his leg in the 2-1 defeat at rivals Tottenham last October, is keeping two screws in his leg to speed up his return to the first-team.

Sagna has also revealed that the return of Thierry Henry to the Arsenal squad will inspire the team to win a trophy this season, although he conceded he will never recover from Arsenal’s failure to beat Birmingham City in last season’s Carling Cup final.
