Campbell had not played since being substituted against West Ham
|
Arsenal defender Sol Campbell came through Monday's reserve team victory against Charlton unscathed.
He played the full 90 minutes in the 2-0 win - his first competitive match since coming off with an ankle injury against West Ham in February.
The 32-year-old captained a side that also contained Dutch striker Robin van Persie who continues his recovery from a broken toe.
Teenager Theo Walcott and Nicklas Bendtner scored the Gunners' goals.
The England international featured in last Tuesday's behind-closed-doors friendly against Brighton but did not make the squad that beat Charlton on Saturday.
Campbell left Highbury at half-time after being substituted during the loss to the Hammers on 1 February sparking rumours of off-the-field problems.
But Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger insisted the ankle problem is a genuine injury.
