Arsenal midfielder Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain is closing in on a first-team return after being sidelined last month with a hamstring problem.
The England international was injured in the early stages of the 3-0 Capital One Cup defeat to Sheffield Wednesday on October 27 and has missed the Gunners' last three matches as a result.
However, the 22-year-old is recovering well and could be back in contention for Arsenal's Premier League trip to West Brom next Saturday.
Oxlade-Chamberlain demonstrated his improving fitness by posting a video of himself taking part in a training session on his official Instagram account.
He also wrote alongside the video: "The rehab is going well, 80-90% sprints today...looking forward to being back on the pitch soon."
Oxlade-Chamberlain's message drew a positive response from Arsenal supporters on Instagram and his return will also be welcomed by Gunners boss Arsene Wenger who has been left short of options in midfield due to a spate of recent injuries.
