Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta has shared a positive update on the injured Gabriel Jesus. This update also clearly indicates that the star striker is only weeks away from training with the team.
Hence, it looks like the Gunners will have him available for the last matches of the season. There is also a big chance that the last matches of season include the final of the Europa League.
ARSENAL MANAGER MIKEL ARTETA PROVIDES POSITIVE UPDATE ON GABRIEL JESUS
Arsenal star striker Gabriel Jesus is recovering from his major injury pretty well. The manager Mikel Arteta has also provided a positive update on the injury of the Brazilian. Hence, it looks like his recovery is only weeks away. Therefore, it looks like Gabriel Jesus will have a role to play in the final matches of the season. It is clear that Mikel Arteta will not straightaway put him into the starting line-up. However, his recovery clearly shows that Gabriel Jesus is on the right track.
Mikel Arteta speaking further on the condition of the Arsenal star forward further said,“[Jesus is] doing really well,”. “He’s been doing quite a lot of work on the ball already [on the grass] and his rehab is going well.” Hence, it is looks like Eddie Nketiah will have to again prove his worth to keep his place ahead of Gabriel Jesus. However, the recent form of Eddie Nketiah clearly proves that the Gunners needed the return of Gabriel Jesus in the team.
EDDIE NKETIAH WILL GET THE MUCH NEEDED COMPETITION FROM THE BRAZILIAN FORWARD
The return of Gabriel Jesus is also going to benefit Eddie Nketiah. The forward has done well to help Arsenal cope with the injury of the Brazilian. Eddie was so good that the Gunners decided not to sign a new forward in the January transfer window. They also decided not to recall Florian Balogun from his loan spell. His brace also helped the Gunners beat Manchester United in a 3-2 match. However, since that his form has gone down in the last 3 matches.
He has failed to score or assist in the last three games against Manchester City in cup, Everton and Brentford in the League. Hence, this has also lead to their elimination from the FA Cup. This has also led to them losing to Everton and a draw against Brentford. Eddie Nketiah has also struggled to create any sort of chances in all the three games. Hence, it is clear that the return of Gabriel Jesus on the grass will motivate Eddie Nketiah to score more in the upcoming matches.
It is clear that Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta will start Gabriel Jesus ahead of Eddie Nketiah after his recovery. However, it is also clear that they will not have him in the squad until he is fully fit. Although, all the Gunners fans hope that the return of Gabriel Jesus will lift the spirits of the dressing room for their title fight against Manchester City this season.
