Arsenal icon Ian Wright believes that the return of Gabriel Jesus could improve the form of some of his teammates in the coming weeks, coming as a potential boost in the title race. It comes as the Brazilian edges closer to a return from injury after a spell on the sidelines.
Jesus was a revelation for the side earlier this season after joining from Manchester City last summer, though a knee injury in the World Cup ruled him out for several months. In that time, the Gunners have seen their lead at the top dwindle, but they still hold the initiative in the race for the title.
“We want to have him as quickly as possible but also respect the time-frame we got from the doctor and the specialists,” Arteta said last month on a return for Jesus in the coming weeks. “He’s really pushing the boundaries right now.”
