Sagna Talks About His Rehab And Title Ambitions

Bacary Sagna says he will not be rushed back into action for Arsenal, as he works on getting fit after two fractured legs in a year.

Sagna played an hour in the U-21s match against Reading earlier this week and afterwards told the Arsenal Player:

“When you have such a big injury once, you take it, but twice is hard. In my mind I was a bit sad, but the next day I was ready for the challenge, which was to come back stronger and I am in a good way today.

“I spent some time in the rehab centre, then I came back and worked really hard with the fitness coach and the physios to be ready to play – and finally I have.

“I don’t have any target – my only aim is to be ready and bring what I can to my team, to give 100 per cent like always.”

Arsenal bounced back from the disappointment of the defeat to Chelsea to beat West Ham 3-1 which leaves them in touch with the chasing pack. Sagna, who has yet to agree a contract extension, feels the Gunners can mount a sustained challenge.

“We have been solid. I think we can win the league. We have to take it step by step, but we have the quality necessary to play until the end of the season and win.”
