Mark Noble is relishing being back in contention for Saturday's trip to Arsenal after the frustration of having to sit out the last two matches with an arm injury.
Speaking to WHUTV, the midfielder confirmed he had trained all week and was eager to force his way into Gianfranco Zola's thinking for the Saturday evening trip to the Emirates. "I have been training the last four or five days," he said.
Noble had been forced off with injury in the second half of the 23 February game at Manchester United, which meant he missed out on the home match with Bolton and last Saturday's trip to Chelsea. With Scott Parker absent, Noble could be the man to profit.
"I feel good and sharp. I want to be out their with the boys and play my part. It has been a stop-start season. I keep getting little niggling injuries that are keeping me out, they do my head in, but hopefully I can be back and involved against Arsenal."
