The 25-year-old has along with several other key players for Arsenal been struggling with injuries this season.
“What is important is that we are defending well and the performances are coming,” he told Arsenal TV.
“There are a lot of great players coming back now – Walcott, Fabregas, Tomas Rosicky and Adebayor – and it will be okay.
“I think we can be in the top three in the Premier League.”
