Arsene Wenger: 'Danny Welbeck not quite ready for Arsenal return'

Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger has revealed that Danny Welbeck is still a little way off returning to the first team after featuring for the club's Under-21s.


England forward Welbeck made his return to match action earlier today after almost 10 months out with a knee injury, and Wenger believes that he still needs more time to build up his match sharpness.
"I believe that he needs to play two or three games before thinking about coming back into the first team," the Frenchman told reporters.

"He has not played for 10 months so we need to be patient with him. He has good basic fitness but after it is competitive decision-making and he needs to get used to that again."

Welbeck scored eight goals in his debut season last term after joining the Gunners from Premier League rivals Manchester United.

Hull City Manager chides Tottenham's Jan Vertonghen following Spurs' 2-1 win

Following Spurs' 2-1 win over Hull City, City manager Steve Bruce lashed out at Tottenham's Jan Vertonghen for exaggerating to get Hull City's Ramirez Gaston red-carded. Bruce castigated such act as unhealthy for the Premier League. The Uruguayan midfielder Ramirez got the red card for kicking at Belgian Jan Vertonghen. Bruce argued his man only showed "petulance" when he was provoked by Jan. And such behaviour could not be regarded as "violent". The City went down when Tottenham's Harry Kane and Christian Eriksen found the net in the game's second half. Speaking with his news conference, Bruce said, "Ramirez has shown petulance. Vertonghen has had a little go at him, and Ramirez has flicked out. The law says it is a violent conduct. For me, it is an act of petulance -- it is not violent conduct." Via espn
