Brazilian star left out of Arsenal's Champions League squad

Arsenal forward Gabriel Jesus has been left out of the Champions League squad for the league phase of the competition.

The Brazil international has been on the sidelines since the start of the year after undergoing surgery for a serious knee injury.

He has returned to individual training over the past week, but there is still a long road to recovery for the former Manchester City man.

Jesus may require at least another month or so before being integrated into team training. He could make cameo appearances at the start.

Hence, it is unsurprising that he has been left out for the league phase of the Champions League between September and January.

While Jesus has been omitted, there is a place for 15-year-old Max Dowman in the squad due to no age restrictions.

Dowman could become the youngest-ever debutant in the competition, should he come on in any of the first six games.

Myles Lewis-Skelly and Ethan Nwaneri are in the List B squad as they are locally trained and players under the age of 21.
