Man United midfielder Fletcher set for Arsenal clash after recovering from virus

Darren Fletcher is set to return to the Manchester United squad after recovering from a debilitating virus.

The Scotland international was forced to miss the final two month's of last season's Barclays Premier League run-in with the illness, but completed 90 minutes for the reserves on Monday night.

United return: Fletcher could feature against Arsenal at the end of the month 

Fletcher will miss United's clash against Tottenham on Monday night, but could feature for the crucial visit of Arsenal at the end of the month.

Fletcher failed to report back on time after the summer break last month amid fears he had suffered a setback in his battle to shake off the virus.

But the 27-year-old has since followed a weights programme in the gym at Carrington to regain his strength and fitness, and was able to resume training at the begininning of August.
