Danny Welbeck has a chance to appear in his first match in more than a month when Arsenal travel to White Hart Lane on Saturday.

Arsene Wenger confirmed that the English international is available for selection during the North London derby against Tottenham after overcoming a thigh injury.

Welbeck is the only change to the squad that easily dismantled Aston Villa last week during a 5-0 victory.

He last appeared in a match on Dec. 28 when he apparently injured the thigh during the team's 2-1 win against West Ham.

Despite his return to the team, Welbeck's chances of being inlcuded in the starting lineup seem slim as Olivier Giroud should be in line to get the start up front.
