Granit Xhaka sports leg brace as injured Arsenal star returns to the gym to begin recovery from knee injury picked up in North London Derby win against Spurs

Granit Xhaka is not letting news of his long-term knee injury dampen his spirit as the Arsenal star was pictured in the gym sporting a leg brace amid his three-month lay off.

Swiss midfielder Xhaka is facing a long spell on the sidelines after a collision with Spurs winger Lucas Moura during Sunday's North London Derby which has left him with 'significant' damage to the medial ligament in his right knee.

Xhaka, 29, saw a specialist on Tuesday where he learnt that he does not need surgery for the injury, and the midfielder has been pictured wearing a leg brace as he got back to work in the gym.
