Arsenal's Arsene Wenger sets Aaron Ramsey return date
Ramsey misses the start of Wales' Euro 2012 campaign but may face England
Wales and Arsenal midfielder Aaron Ramsey hopes to return from his double leg break in November.
The 19-year-old has been out since suffering fractures to the tibia and fibia of his right leg after a tackle by Stoke's Ryan Shawcross in February.
"Ramsey [is] coming back in November," Wenger told the Arsenal website, the first time he has set a return date.
The 11-cap Caerphilly man will miss the first three matches of Wales' Euro 2012 qualifying campaign.
But he could be back in the reckoning for John Toshack's side ahead of February's Four Nations tournament and the big 26 March home Euro qualifier against England.
Ramsey, who turned down a move to Manchester United in June 2008 to sign for the Gunners from Cardiff City in a £5m deal, is seen as the playmaker that Wales can build their future around.
He made rapid progress after his arrival at the Emirates, making 29 appearances in all competitions last season before his injury, scoring four times.
In April he said that he accepted that Shawcross did not mean to break his leg, but that the Stoke defender could have avoided the challenge which ended his season.
"I remember everything but you just have to get on with things, and that is what I am doing," he said.
"I don't believe he wanted to break my leg but I think he wanted to go through the ball and me - to take me out and make sure I felt the tackle.
"He was caught out of position a little, but he could definitely have changed his mind before making the tackle, realising that he was not going to get there and so not committing.
"If I was tackling and saw that there was not a chance of getting to the ball cleanly, I would not make the tackle - and I don't think there was a chance of him getting there.
"He has left me a voicemail and a text message, but I just want to concentrate on my recovery for now."
