Max Dowman has been forced to drop out of Arsenal’s Champions League squad for the rest of the calendar year through injury, but that has opened up a spot for the returning Gabriel Jesus.
Jesus has not earned a competitive minute of action for Arsenal since Jan. 12, 2025, when he was stretchered off at the Emirates after tearing his ACL in an FA Cup third-round clash against Manchester United. The Brazilian forward is back in training with his teammates and even made the bench for Arsenal’s London derbies against Chelsea and Brentford recently.
