Arsenal star Gabriel Jesus is edging closer to a return from a long-term injury that has seen him missing from action since the turn of the new year. The Brazilian suffered a knee issue while at the World Cup, ruling him out from playing for the rest of the tournament and for a few months.
At the time, it seemed as though it could have a huge impact on the title race, with Jesus' quality being a major miss for the side. However, fast forward a few months and the Gunners are still top of the league with just 12 games to go, with a return for the striker just around the corner.
"We will try not to rush him back, we will try to make a fair assessment between what he needs and when is comfortable," Mikel Arteta told reporters earlier this week ahead fo a clash with Sporting CP in the Europa League. "Everything is going well, he needs time as well to get himself that confidence and that physical state that is necessary to compete with a free mind and once he's free to do that, we will throw him in."
