Arsene Wenger has revealed that Aaron Ramsey is set to make his Arsenal comeback in the FA Cup fifth-round replay against Leyton Orient on March 2.

Ramsey has not appeared for the Gunners since suffering a double leg break during a clash at Stoke 12 months ago but, following successful loan spells at Nottingham Forest and Cardiff, his return is imminent.

Ramsey will head back to Arsenal after Cardiff's game at Hull on Saturday, and Wenger has no hesitation about throwing him straight into the team.

"He is on loan until Saturday," Wenger told the club's official website. "After that he comes back. He could be available for the second game against Leyton Orient on Wednesday.

"I have had good reports from Cardiff and I intend to use him. He could not play last Saturday because he had a little hip problem and we demanded that he rest.

"I think he will play this Saturday again and then we will see if he comes through that game well. After that he is available for Arsenal."
