However, the Spanish midfielder is adamant that his injury worries are behind him and is aiming to be back amongst the first-team in the near future.
“I had a really tough period last year after my last game in November and I went through some really difficult moments with my surgery.
“For me it is the frustration [that is the hardest thing] because there is always pain and you are trying to get back every day and you spend a lot of time doing rehabilitation.
“When the players go outside for a training session, you feel wasted. They come back, they travel and they have different times to you. Personally I don’t feel productive.
“I’m here because I want to play games, make this team more successful and be a part of it.
“When I’m not able to do that I still have to contribute, be positive, be good around the other players, give advice and try to help my team-mates. But it is not the same.
“But I worked really hard and tried to stay positive, do my best and here I am again now, earning my place in the squad and ready to help the team.”
Wenger will be boosted by the news after seeing Danny Welbeck and Jack Wilshere pick up long-term injuries before the start of the season, while centre-back duo Per Mertesacker and Laurent Koscielny are expected to recover from their respective problems in time for their clash against Stoke City this weekend.
Arsene Wenger’s men haven’t had the best start to their Premier League campaign, scoring only three goals in four matches, with two of them coming from own goals.
