The Swiss FA has claimed that Arsenal defender Johan Djourou may yet return before the end of the season.

The 24-year-old centre-half dislocated his shoulder during the Gunners’ recent FA Cup defeat to Manchester United, and manager Arsene Wenger had maintained that the defender is expected to remain out of action for the remainder of the season.

However, the Swiss FA believe that Djourou may yet be able to recover before the curtain comes down on the current campaign.

“The shoulder injury to Johan Djourou is less serious than feared on Saturday and announced by the coach of his club,” read a statement.

“The Arsenal defender and member of the Switzerland national team was submitted to thorough medical examinations on Monday. At the end of a long exhausting day, Johan Djourou had new hope that…. his season is not over yet.”
