Is the return of Jesus imminent? Arteta reveals in interview that Arsenal striker is making progress

Arsenal fans will surely welcome the news regarding the return of one of the key men of the autumn. Brazilian striker Gabriel Jesus has been training with the ball on the pitch and his recovery is going well, at least according to coach Mikel Arteta.

It is perhaps hard to believe that Arsenal, who lead the Premier League table with a five-point lead over second-placed Manchester City, have been missing their main striker since the World Cup.

Indeed, Jesus was injured during Brazil’s group game against Cameroon in early December. He injured the medial ligament in his knee and it was clear that he was in for a long recovery.

Now, however, it looks like the skilful Brazilian could soon be back on the pitch again. ” Step by step.”

Coach Arteta also spoke about his star’s health during one of his press conferences and hopes to have Jesus available soon. Of course, given the other injuries in the team. For example, the start of striker Eddie Nketiah is uncertain for the next game.

During the press conference Arteta said the following about the return of Jesus. He’s not too close, but he’s not too far away. He feels better every day and he is confident.”

According to the Football.London website, Arsenal members are hopeful that Jesus could be back before the international break at the end of March.

The Brazilian striker last featured for the English side on November 12, 2022 against Wolves and was one of the key players until then. So far, he has procured 5 goals and 6 assists in Premier League matches. That’s also why it would be useful for the English side if he could join the game as soon as possible.
