Gabriel Jesus returns to training at Arsenal after four months out

Wednesday’s Training Arsenal had a booster: Gabriel Jesus, who had been sidelined since his injury in the World Cup, returned to training with his teammates on the pitch. The Brazilian has undergone knee surgery and is in the final stages of his recovery.

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.
