With all the bad news for England fans recently (Scolari, Rooney, McLaren) it's encouraging that at least one of our top players is returning from injury. According to Arsene Wenger, Ashley Cole will start Arsenal's game against Manchester City tonight, his first start since October. Yep, it's been that long.

If all goes well (and it's time something did) then Cole could play two Premiership games for Arsenal before getting a really stern test against Barcelona in the Champions League final.
