"Arsenal" forward Olivier Giroud denied doctors' predictions and plans to return to the field earlier than expected. London club coach Arsene Wenger revealed that his fellow countryman, who suffered a broken leg in August, could make an appearance in the weekend game against "Man Utd." "I will now be able to rely on Giroud and Mikel Arteta. It is unclear what their physical form is, but they will be able to play," the strategist said. "Olivier is ahead of schedule by 3-4 weeks. We originally planned for him to return to the squad before the New Year." Wenger assured that L. Koscielny, M. Ozil, and M. Debuchy are also recovering successfully and will start training at full speed in a few weeks.
