Hector Bellerin is targeting a comeback to action in time for Arsenal's festive fixtures.
Bellerin has been on the sidelines since the north London derby on November 6. He suffered a kick to the ankle from Tottenham's Danny Rose in the closing stages of the 1-1 draw at the Emirates Stadium.
The Spain defender was initially expected to be out for up to four weeks but Bellerin admitted that looks more likely to be around seven by the time he returns.
Nevertheless Bellerin is happy with his progress.
