Mikel Arteta offers Gabriel Jesus injury update with Arsenal striker "pushing" for return

Mikel Arteta has revealed that Gabriel Jesus is "pushing" for a return from injury - but the Arsenal manager can't give a timescale yet.

Jesus, 25, last featured for the Gunners nearly three full months ago prior to the World Cup, during which he suffered a serious knee injury. The Brazilian striker recently got back on the grass and buoyed fans with the prospect of his return to boost Arsenal's Premier League title charge, but Arteta has told supporters to be patient.

"Gabi is doing really well, he's already been outside a little bit," the Gunners boss began on Friday. "It's still early stages, he keeps pushing everybody every single day, but we need to respect timelines and processes. He's doing really well."
