Ramsey (hamstring) is available off the bench for Sunday's match against Stoke City.

Ramsey suffered his hamstring injury Dec. 9 against Galatasaray, and he was in excellent form when it happens, with two goals and an assist in his previous two games. After a decent layoff, and his long injury history, manager Arsene Wenger will likely ease Ramsey back in slowly, with no guarantee that he'll start next Sunday at Manchester City.

Manager Arsene Wenger confirmed Friday that Ramsey (hamstring) is back in training and could be available for Sunday's match against Stoke City.

Ramsey was in excellent form just before going down with the injury Dec. 9 against Galatasaray, a match in which he had two goals and an assist. After such a long layoff, it's unlikely he starts right away, but his return will be a huge boost to the Gunners, as will Mesut Ozil's from his knee injury.

Manager Arsene Wenger said Tuesday that Ramsey (hamstring) has a shot to be fit for Arsenal's Premier League match against Southampton on New Year's Day.

Ramsey was in excellent form before he suffered the hamstring injury against Galatasaray in the Champions League on Dec. 9, scoring three goals and assisting on two others in three matches. He started picking up his shot attempts, which will certainly help in most goal-scoring opportunities.

Ramsey is expected to miss the next four weeks with a hamstring injury after scoring against Galatasaray earlier in the week, reports the Daily Mail.

The midfielder is expected to miss a number of games through the holiday period, and is bad news for Arsenal who are also missing Jack Wilshere.

Manager Arsene Wenger said Thursday that Ramsey is dealing with a hamstring injury, and he will be assessed ahead of Saturday's match against Newcastle.

After a significant slump, Ramsey picked up two goals and an assist in Tuesday's Champions League match against Galatasaray, giving him three goals and two assists in his last three games in all competitions.

Ramsey scored a goal in Arsenal's 3-2 loss to Stoke City on Saturday, his first goal since Aug. 23 against Everton.

Ramey seems to be breaking out of a horrible drought, as he's got a goal and an assist in his last two games. He'll look to keep it going during Tuesday's Champions League match against Galatasaray.

Ramsey set up Alexis Sanchez's 89th-minute goal during Arsenal's 1-0 win over Southampton on Wednesday.

Ramsey has been in a terrible scoring slump this season, as the assist was his first since Sept. 13 and he hasn't scored a goal himself since Aug. 23. However, he's been more active of late, taking five shots in both of the last two games, so he is at least putting himself in a better position to score. He'll look to break through Saturday at Stoke City.
