Lauren hopes to be back in action soon as he nears the end of his recovery after knee surgery. The 29-year-old went under the knife in January to cure a long-standing problem and has not played since. "So far everything I have done is going well, the knee is responding well," he told Arsenal.com on August 11. "At the moment we are looking at probably one and a half months, two months maximum, until I can play again."
