Arsenal manager, Mikel Arteta has said he will not rush Gabriel Jesus back into action after the player returned to training with the team.
Jesus already has five goals and provided seven assists for the Club following his move from Manchester City in July.
But the striker has been out of action since due to a knee injury he sustained at the 2022 World Cup with Brazil and had surgery in early December.

Arteta also finds himself without the likes of Nketiah and Leandro Trossard injured and could be tempted to speed up Jesus
“We will try not to rush him back, we will try to make a fair assessment between what he needs and when is comfortable.
“Everything is going well, he needs time as well to get himself that confidence and that physical state that is necessary to compete with a free mind, and once he’s free to do that, we will throw him in,”
Arteta said while addressing reporters on Wednesday, ahead of their match at Sporting CP in the Europa League round of 16 on Thursday.
