Mikel Arteta gives update on Gabriel Jesus injury as Arsenal star steps up return

Mikel Arteta has given a positive update on Gabriel Jesus' rehab with the Brazilian now training with a ball.

The forward came back from the World Cup with an injury that has sidelined him for months. Jesus had to undergo surgery on a knee issue, which has left Arsenal light in the final third as they continue to push for the Premier League title.
