Arsenal star Gabriel Jesus has been absent for the last two months after suffering a knee injury whilst away with Brazil at the World Cup in Qatar. The Brazilian striker signed from Manchester City last summer after completing a £45million deal to reunite with Mikel Arteta at the Emirates Stadium.
Arteta offered a fresh update on Jesus' recovery from the knee injury that has seen him miss a number of games for the Gunners after a strong start to life in north London. Eddie Nketiah has filled the void left by the 25-year-old who has recently started work out on the grass once again in individual training sessions.
Erling Haaland's arrival at the Etihad Stadium contributed to Jesus' decision to want to try a new challenge and leave Pep Guardiola's side. The Norwegian striker has scored 25 goals in 21 appearances in the Premier League this season but the Gunners will hope he has an off night tonight as the two teams go head-to-head at the Emirates Stadium.
