Gabriel Jesus is now back at Arsenal’s London Colney training center, where he is undergoing some light training exercises. Yesterday was his first day back with the club, but Wednesday saw him on back on the grass and getting active again in drills.
The Brazilian striker suffered a devastating knee injury while representing his country at the 2022 World Cup in Qatar. The original outlook set a timeline for return sometime in March.

He could return to first team training sometime before next month ends.
The 25-year-old, who is now able to do exercises with a ball, scored five goals for the Gunners this season, before the World Cup break.
Gabriel Jesus moved over from the current defending league champions, Manchester City, and now finds himself with the club currently sitting top of the table.
Arsenal, despite playing one match fewer, are five points ahead of Jesus’s former club, who currently sit second.
