GUNNERS DUO BACK IN TRAINING

ARSENAL have been dealt a boost in their title push when it was revealed that Tony Adams and Dennis Bergkamp returned to training on Monday morning.

Dutch international striker Bergkamp, 30, has been out since November with a groin injury while Adams has missed the last four weeks with a foot injury.

The duo are unlikely to be played in Tuesday night`s reserve team game at Coventry City but could come into contention for at least a place on the bench when the Gunners travel to Yorkshire to face Bradford City on Saturday.

Marc Overmars, who has not played since the 1-1 draw with Sheffield Wednesday at Hillsborough on January 3, could also return to training this week after being stretchered off in the game with an ankle injury.

The news will come as a big boost to manager Arsene Wenger, who has come through the recent injury crisis with a victory over Sunderland and a draw at Old Trafford against Manchester United to keep the pressure up on the Premiership leaders.
