Mikel Arteta admitted Gabriel Jesus is edging closer to an Arsenal return but this weekend's clash with Bournemouth may be a test too soon.
Former Manchester City striker Jesus has been sidelined since the World Cup after sustaining an injury in Qatar that required knee surgery.
The Brazilian has since returned to light training as the Gunners prepare for the visit of Gary O'Neil's men. But Arteta suggested his £45million summer acquisition, who has netted five times this season, will not be ready in time.
