Why Gabriel Jesus isn't in Arsenal squad for Europa League clash vs Sporting CP

Arsenal star Gabriel Jesus has been left out of the matchday squad for the Gunners' Europa League clash against Sporting CP.

The talented striker has been sidelined with a knee injury for over three months now, suffering a medial collateral ligament injury during Brazil's World Cup campaign back in November 2022. Since then, Gunners supporters have been watching closely eagerly awaiting their star forward's return ahead of a crucial few months in the Premier League title race.

Jesus finally returned to full training earlier this week, spotted with the rest of the squad during Wednesday's open training session at the club's London Colney base. However, he has not been named in the squad for the Round of 16 match against Portuguese outfit Sporting, meaning the north London outfit clearly don't think he is ready yet.
