Gabriel Jesus has already told Mikel Arteta when he will return from injury for Arsenal

Gabriel Jesus may be about to take the next - and biggest - step in his rehabilitation process as he enters what could be his final week of recovery, barring any setbacks.

The 25-year-old has been out since December after undergoing successful surgery on medial ligament damage to his knee which was sustained during Brazil's group-stage match against Cameroon at the Qatar World Cup.

However, speaking to former UFC champion Khabib Nurmagomedov at the Emirates Stadium on January 22, Jesus said that he hoped to be back in "four or five weeks". This is now the fifth week since he made those comments, which could suggest that a return to first-team training is just around the corner.
