The manager has stated Mkhitaryan is firmly on the road to recovery and could be back as soon as next week in a major boost to his side's chances of progressing. "Mkhitaryan is running again, he has to progress in the next three or four days," he said in his weekly pre-match press conference. "Possibly (fit for) Thursday, that is the earliest,” Wenger said.
