Gabriel Jesus

Jesus continued to train over the break, slowly making his return from a torn ACL early in the year.

Jesus (knee) is making the steps day-by-day and training since Thursday, coach Mikel Arteta said in the press conference. "It's about making the steps day-by-day in a different surrounding. He's been doing everything on his own; now he's got players around him, very competitive players around him, and let's see how he copes with that. But he's full of energy, I love the reaction of all his teammates when he first joined us and great to have him back."

Jesus (knee) was pictured in training Thursday and is back working on grass.

Jesus (knee) is aiming a return between December and January, coach Mikel Arteta said in the press conference. "He had a major surgery that it was going to take him many, many months. So, after discussing that with the medical staff and understanding the schedule that we had and when we thought that he could be available, that it would be between December and January, we decided to make that call. Like we've done it in the past with other players. Hopefully, we did it wrong and he comes back earlier. But at the moment, the provision was very clear."

Jesus (knee) has started to train individually, according to his club.
