Jesus took part in the team’s last activities before the match against Sporting, in the Round of 16 Europa League. Despite being present at training, the striker should not yet be available for this Thursday’s duel. His return could take place on Sunday, when Arsenal visit Fulham.
Without the center forward, coach Mikel Arteta has been alternating several players from the position. Although Nketiah was the most chosen name in the absence of Jesus, the Belgian Trossard has been improvised in charge of attack in recent matches.
Hired at the beginning of the season from Manchester City, the number 9 arrived in London as one of the main athletes in the squad. Before his injury, Gabriel Jesus appeared in 20 opportunities for Arsenal, scoring five goals and handing out seven assists.
