Arsenal goalkeeper Bernd Leno has taken to Twitter to send a reassuring message to the fans.

Leno has thanked the Arsenal supporters for their kind messages and well wishes, and the Germany international has also said that he is working hard to return to action.

The 28-year-old suffered a serious knee injury during the Gunners’ 2-1 defeat to Brighton and Hove Albion away from home in the Premier League last Saturday afternoon.

The former Bayer Leverkusen star had to be taken off on a stretcher on 40 minutes, and there were doubts that he could be out of action for a year.

However, the goalkeeper sustained moderate ligament sprain and will return to full training in four to six weeks.

Top-Four Challenge

Arsenal have made a disappointing return to Premier League action following the restart.

The Gunners went down 3-0 to Manchester City away from home at the Etihad Stadium last week before suffering a 2-1 defeat at the hands of Brighton last weekend.

Mikel Arteta’ side are 10th in the Premier League table at the moment with 40 points from 30 matches, as many as 11 points behind fourth-placed and London rivals Chelsea.

The Gunners will return to action on Thursday evening when they take on Southampton away from home at St. Marys Stadium in the Premier League.
