Arsenal captain Mertesacker: Welbeck positive force in locker room

Published on: 28 February 2017

Arsenal captain Per Mertesacker has praised Danny Welbeck for his positivity.

The pair did their rehab from injury together this season.

Mertesacker said, "There's a little bond there which really exists but it's all about getting back to the pitch. Danny was a little bit quicker [to return] than me, but we still had lots of training sessions where we sweated together and gave a lot.

"You see that person more than your other team-mates, so it's nice that he embraced the challenge. I tried to support him and he supported me, so it was a very healthy thing and I think we did really well.

"I can only say that it was lovely to work with him. He's very positive and lifts everyone in the dressing room."
