Every single person involved with Arsenal football club continues to linger around the return date of Gabriel Jesus. The importance of the striker is simply so great that just knowing when we might catch a glimpse of him getting close to a return takes over nearly every pre-match press conference and has for the past couple of months.
Jesus spoke with UFC fighter Khabib Nurmagomedov in mid-to-late January and suggested he might be back in an Arsenal shirt in ‘four or five weeks’ although with five weeks approaching this Sunday and no word on his return, that appears inaccurate. However, Mikel Arteta did confirm he’s now training outside and doing ball work, so it may not be too far off.
"Doing really well," Arteta said when asked how Jesus is doing. "He’s on the pitch, he’s been doing quite a lot of work on the ball already and so far his rehab is going well."
