Gabriel Jesus gave his thoughts on his return to football after 11 months on the sidelines as he helped Arsenal earn a 3-0 victory in Belgium to mark six wins from six for the team in the Champions League this season.

After 15 league games this season, Arsenal have suffered 15 injuries but the number of absentees have largely been a subplot

Arsenal will turn their attention back to the Premier League following their mid-week Champions League fixture against Club Brugge. Mikel Arteta will be hoping his side responds well to the agonising 2-1 defeat they suffered last weekend in the away trip to Aston Villa, where they conceded in the 95th minute.

Gabriel Jesus could make his first appearance since January when Arsenal face Club Brugge on Wednesday night. Jesus has been added to Arsenal’s Champions League squad after Max Dowman injured his ankle last weekend.

Gabriel Martinelli has hailed Arsenal teammate Gabriel Jesus as ‘one of the best strikers in the world’ ahead of his long-awaited injury return. Jesus has been out for almost a year since suffering a serious ACL injury in Arsenal’s FA Cup defeat to Manchester United back in January.

Gabriel Jesus has taken another significant stride toward ending his lengthy spell on the sidelines, with the striker set to feature in a friendly against Manchester United with the Arsenal Under-21s on Saturday as part of his carefully managed rehabilitation programme.
