Berger braced for return

The 32-year-old has been sidelined since the 3-1 defeat by Manchester City in late October, and is looking forward to working his way back into David O'Leary's plans. "I'm now ready to start training with the team on Monday," the summer signing from Portsmouth said. "Hopefully I'll be able to play some part between now and the end of the season. There's still plenty to play for. I need a few good sessions of training and then a few reserve games to be ready for the first team."
