Road to recovery: He may be back in three months[LNB]Aaron Ramsey could return to action for Arsenal in November - just nine months after his fledgling career was threatened by serious injury.The Welshman suffered a broken leg in a horror tackle by Stoke City's Ryan Shawcross in February.Initial diagnosis suggested it may take a year before the 19-year-old would play again, while the perpetrator missed only three games.However the road to recovery has been smooth enough for Ramsey and, having penned a new deal in June, his manager revealed good news about his progress. 'He has started to have a little, little jog last week,' said Arsene Wenger after his side's 1-1 draw with AC Milan in Emirates Cup.  'He will be back of course but at the moment, when you start to run, it is still about three months. Short term, he will not be available but he will be this season'Now we have to count three months. If he is back in the November, he has done well.' The injury brought a sad end to a breakthrough season for Ramsey who many tip as successor to Cesc Fabregas in the Arsenal midfield. He has already proved more proficient in front of goal than his Spanish team-mate at that age. [LNB] Horror tackle: Stoke City's Ryan Shawcross tries to console Aaron Ramsey after his challenge on the Arsenal star in the Premier League back in February[LNB]But after such a setback question marks will linger about his long-term capabilities. Arsenal sold Eduardo earlier this month after the Croatian failed to recover mentally from a similar injury sustained at Birmingham in 2007. While goals, including a spectacular volley against Burnley, showed there was no concern about his physical shape, the striker lacked the psychological edge to cut it in the Premier League. [LNB] Arsenal boss Wenger calls on Barcelona target Fabregas to pledge his loyalty to the Gunners Arsenal 1 AC Milan 1: Chamakh the knife looks like a real bargain for Arsene Wenger ARSENAL FC
