Gabriel Jesus delivers Arsenal injury return prediction amid Eddie Nketiah's bold statement

Arsenal star Gabriel Jesus has offered another update on his injury return after the Brazilian forward was spotted in attendance at the Gunners' exhilarating win over Manchester United on Sunday. The 25-year-old watched on as his replacement Eddie Nketiah shone in the 3-2 victory, scoring for the hosts either side of a delightful Bukayo Saka strike.

Marcus Rashford and Lisandro Martinez were on the scoresheet for United but it was Nketiah's vital touch just before the end of normal time that proved decisive and moved Mikel Arteta's men onto 50 points from 19 games, five ahead of Manchester City.

The brace in north London from Nketiah took his tally of goals for the league season to four with a further five coming in different competitions. The 23-year-old will undoubtedly continue at the tip of the Arsenal attack for the following weeks, but that could change soon with Jesus detailing his hopeful injury return timeline.
