Everton playmaker Mikel Arteta believes he is close to making his
first-team comeback after 11 months out with a cruciate knee
ligament injury.
The 27-year-old Spaniard was carried off in the 0-0 draw at
Newcastle in late February last year and has endured a long
rehabilitation period but finally feels the end is in sight.
"I have been doing nearly everything in training with the
lads over the last week and I am hoping to start doing contact work
this coming week," he said.
"After that, whenever the manager says Mikky you are ready -
I am there!"
