Powell is declared a Gunners' player

Abenico told Mmegi Sport that he is back at Extension Gunners and he is ready to fight for his place. "I have just returned from training and I am working hard to get my fitness back because I know it would not be easy to get back into the team.

The players who have been doing duty in my absence have been playing well and I do not expect to just walk into the starting line up," he said. Club spokesperson Kitso Dlamini said despite the recriminations between the player and the club, they are ready to forget the past and focus on helping Abenico to get his career back on track.
