Arsenal defender William Gallas has admitted that he is
unsure of when he will make his return to the
first-team.
The French international has been sidelined with a groin injury
since he limped off in the second game of the season against
Blackburn.
Despite losing their experienced centre-back, The Gunners have been
in devastating form and currently top the Premier League.

specifics
The former Chelsea man was expected to make his comeback in the
clash against West Ham on Saturday, but he explained that he has
not yet set an exact date for his return.
"I will be back but I don't know when. I don't want to set a
target. We are top of the table, though, and playing well so I want
to be part of it," he told the Daily Mail.
Gallas also spoke of his pain at missing out on Arsenal's previous
six matches, and warned his team-mates of the tough test they face
in their trip to Upton Park.
Emotional strain
"This is a difficult time for me. I'm very sad that I'm still
injured and I have to be strong in my head," he added.
"This is my second injury I have had at Arsenal and sometimes you
want to know why it is happening.
"I don't want to cry about it but when you work hard, and you feel
the pain, it's difficult to accept.
"I will remind everyone how tough it is there (Upton Park). They
beat us 1-0 at Upton Park last season."
