Wales' Aaron Ramsey returns for Arsenal reserves
 Aaron Ramsey in agony after suffering his broken leg Arsenal and Wales midfielder Aaron Ramsey has returned from his horrific leg break by playing the first half of a match against Wolves reserves. The 19-year-old has been out since suffering fractures to the tibia and fibula of his right leg after a tackle by Stoke's Ryan Shawcross in February. After months of rehabilitation work in the gym he is back at last. "It's great to be back outside and kicking the ball again," he said last month after returning to training. "I missed it for a long time, but it's such a good feeling to be back outside.
Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger, who set Ramsey a November target back in August, said at the time that he was delighted to see Ramsey back on the training pitch. "You would be amazed if you saw him in training, he has suddenly in the last month made a huge step forward," said the Frenchman. "If I consider now when I look at him, you see his smile again. "He has changed since six months ago because he has the feeling that the worst is behind him and everyday he is getting closer to what he wants to be, and that means being a football player." News of Ramsey's return is a boost for Wales, who have lost their first three Euro 2012 qualifiers in his absence. Ramsey turned down a move to Manchester United in June 2008 to sign for the Gunners from Cardiff City in a £5m deal. He made rapid progress after his arrival at the Emirates, making 29 appearances in all competitions last season before his injury, scoring four times. In April he said that he accepted that Shawcross did not mean to break his leg, but added that he felt the Stoke defender could have avoided the challenge which ended his season. "I remember everything but you just have to get on with things, and that is what I am doing," he said. "I don't believe he wanted to break my leg but I think he wanted to go through the ball and me - to take me out and make sure I felt the tackle. "He was caught out of position a little, but he could definitely have changed his mind before making the tackle, realising that he was not going to get there and so not committing. "If I was tackling and saw that there was not a chance of getting to the ball cleanly, I would not make the tackle - and I don't think there was a chance of him getting there. "He has left me a voicemail and a text message, but I just want to concentrate on my recovery for now." | ||
