Bench option Sunday
Jesus (knee) is on the bench for Sunday's match against Chelsea.
ANALYSIS
Jesus played in a closed-doors match last week and has made his return to play in league action this week, with the forward earning a spot on the bench. He will hope to see some time to test his legs after the long delay to start the season, although he is likely to continue in a rotational role moving forward.

Plays in closed doors friendly
Jesus (knee) was involved in a closed-door friendly and is nearing a return, according to manager Mikel Arteta. "We have to see. He's been out 11 months, and you need that progression; you need to see how his body reacts, and what else he needs. The players that we have available as well, it has to make sense to have the right balance in the squad. So it's a good thing he's very, very close at the moment."

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Keen on Brazil return
Gabriel Jesus wants to return to Brazil and play for Palmeiras, according to The Mirror.
ANALYSIS
Gabriel Jesus is working his way back from a knee injury, but once he's cleared to play, he'll likely be a backup option behind Viktor Gyokeres and Kai Havertz. Thus, the Brazilian is not keen on staying at Arsenal since he won't have a lot of minutes available. Jesus would be open to returning to Palmeiras, but Flamengo are also keen on him.
