Aaron Ramsey

Ramsey played the full game in Tuesday's 2-1 victory against Derby County for the first time since his long-term knee injury, and coach Scott Parker was pleased with his performance. "I was really pleased for him. I thought he played really well tonight as well. He's been out for a long a long time Rambo, it's been a long road for him. To get back, have 90 minutes, score a goal as well, and his general play, he was involved in the second as well. So really, really pleased for Rambo, he deserves that. It was a good performance generally from him."

Ramsey is continuing to work on his fitness and prepare for the new season after returning from his ACL tear at the end of last season, according to his club. "I feel like using this pre-season to get to 100% and it will be so good for me for those 6-7 weeks before the first game comes. Having a few friendlies, four or five pre-season games, is going to be so crucial for me, just like you said, mentally and physically, it will just get me there. So yeah, I'm looking forward to it like you said. I came back and now I'm ready for my actual comeback."

Ramsey will be out for the rest of the season after suffering an apparent ACL tear against Arsenal on Saturday, as manager Vincent Kompany told reporters, "Unfortunately for us, it was as bad as we thought. It's season over and maybe for the larger part of this year he won't feature, so that's a blow for him," per Matt Scrafton of the Burnley Express.

Ramsey will undergo a scan of his calf injury Monday, per Phil Cadden of The Sun.

Ramsey came off in Saturday's 5-0 loss to Arsenal with what looked like a serious injury.
