Arsenal forward Nwankwo Kanu is back to action but faces high contention to get a first team shirt in the squad.
The Nigerian international whose form in October saw him been voted player of the month by fans will have to do a lot of work if he would get back his place as it were in that successful month.
Kanu's competitive task is referenced on the fact that players like Dennis Bergkamp and Thierry Henry who were injured and now fully recovered.
The 1995 Ajax Champions league winner and former Inter Milan player wasn't featured when Manchester United defeated Arsenal 2-0 at Old Trafford; likewise, he came in the 83rd-minute of the goalless draw with Valencia on Tuesday.
Finally, with all the stars at Arsene Wenger's disposal, the lanky African is bound to work more than ever to match the goal scoring ability of players like Henry and Sylvan Wiltord who have 9 and 8 Premiership goals respectively to their credit.
