Arsenal skipper Laurent Koscielny showed that his achilles is fully intact after the Frenchman entered the pitch for a kickabout with his son following our 2-0 against Everton.

Koscielny has been out since April with a ruptured achilles injury suffered in our heart-breaking Europa League defeat to Atletico Madrid last season.

It robbed him of a chance to compete at the World Cup, one which his country won and Koscielny was seen as a big part of that squad.

He has since been working hard in the gym and was recently pictured kicking the ball outside at London Colney, which usually indicates a return to full training is pending.

The club have continued the stance that early November is being pencilled in as a potential return date to full training, but it looks like the captain is ahead of schedule.

He retained the captaincy last summer despite the huge upheaval at the club, and Koscielny was actually the first player to meet Unai Emery given that he was at the training ground receiving treatment during his unveiling.

Check out the little kickabout in the clip above.
