Aaron Ramsey hopes to regain full fitness at Nottingham Forest

Aaron Ramsey is looking return to full fitness playing forNottingham Forest, before returning to Arsenal early next year.

The young Gunner had been at the receiving end of a strong challenge from Stoke City defender Ryan Shawcross last season, which saw the 19-year-old spend nine months on the sidelines with a broken leg.

But having returned to some semblance of fitness, the Welshman has gone out on loan to build his fitness. And only recently he made a debut for Forest by making a substitute appearance against Leicester City.

"I’ve been out for a long time and just to be out there and playing again made me realise how much football means to me.," Ramsey said, according to The Mirror.

"I’ve missed a lot of the year, but it was so good to be back in the swing of things.

"Obviously the first two months after the injury were the hardest, I couldn’t really move much, although I was encouraged to try to get on my feet. My friends and family helped me get through it.

"I’m here to get back to 100 per cent and hopefully win as many games for Forest as possible. I want to try and get them going in the right direction.

"I felt alright and I’m still a way off playing 90 minutes, but my fitness is coming along nicely. I’ve been out for nine months and these are what these games are for."
