Gilberto comeback looms
By Steve Stammers, Evening Standard
7 January 2005Gilberto Silva is planning a return to the Arsenal team next month after being out for more than 12 weeks with a back injury.
The World Cup winner is due back at Arsenal next week after recuperating in Brazil where a doctor told the midfielder he should be in full training by the end of the month. Although the player says he is feeling better, Arsenal will conduct their own specialist report next week before deciding when he will be fit to resume playing.
There have been fears Gilberto would miss the remainder of the season if surgery was needed.
