Ashley Cole Makes Welcome Return To Action

Ashley Cole made a welcome return to action this weekend, coming on as a 35th minute sub for Pascal Cygan in Arsenal's 7-0 mauling of Middlesborough. It was Cole's first appearance since he broke his foot against Birmingham on October 2nd 2005.

Arsenal fans are still sweating over Cole's possible desertion to Real Madrid, but England fans will be glad to see Sven's first choice left back playing again.
