Gabriel Jesus is aiming for a significant comeback for Arsenal following his injury setback. The Brazilian striker is set to return to full training and potentially rejoin the team in December. This development will be a major boost for Arsenal as they push for the title this season.
Injury Details and Recovery Efforts
Jesus, who is 28 years old, faced a challenging recovery after sustaining an ACL injury in the FA Cup match against Manchester United in January. This injury significantly hampered his progress since the 2022 World Cup.
- Jesus joined Arsenal in the summer of 2022 for £45 million.
- He has been participating in recovery sessions on the grass.
- Although not yet in full training, he is focused on returning stronger for the second half of the season.
Kai Havertz’s Recovery Progress
In addition to Jesus, fellow striker Kai Havertz is also working hard to regain fitness after undergoing knee surgery. Havertz suffered an injury during the opening weekend against Manchester United and is making good progress.
- Havertz has not yet joined full team training but is expected to return in the coming weeks.
- He could be back in action within a month.
- Last season, he was restricted to limited appearances due to a hamstring injury during a training camp in Dubai.
Impact on the Team
As Arsenal continues its campaign, both Jesus and Havertz’s potential returns will provide vital options. Jesus’s experience and dribbling skills will be particularly important for the Champions League matches.
Alongside Jesus and Havertz, Arsenal is also managing injuries to other key players. Captain Martin Ødegaard and Noni Madueke are both set to be unavailable until after the next international break.
Arsenal fans can look forward to the return of these players, which promises to enhance the team’s dynamic as they enter a crucial phase of the season.
