Arsenal striker Gabriel Jesus admits it was “not easy” to be out injured as his teammates put together a challenge for the Premier League title.
The Brazilian forward only moved to the Emirates Stadium last summer but has already endured a long spell on the sidelines with a knee injury picked up during the World Cup. The 25-year-old has made his return over recent weeks with brief cameos against Fulham and Crystal Palace, whilst he also started in the Europa League defeat to Sporting Lisbon.
Jesus’ return is certainly a huge boost to Mikel Arteta and the Gunners’ hopes of winning the Premier League come the end of the campaign. Speaking about his injury, the former Manchester City star has revealed it was tough to watch his teammates, but suggested he attempted to help even when out injured.
