Arsenal handed huge injury boost on striker

Arsenal have been handed a huge injury boost on Gabriel Jesus, according to Standard Sport.

The Gunners have been without the Brazil international since early January when he picked up a serious knee injury against Manchester United in the FA Cup third round.

Jesus was spotted back on the grass earlier last month and reports now claim that he has started working with the ball. He could return to contact training in the coming weeks.

Based on the progress made, Jesus could make his return to first-team action during the festive schedule after the November international break.

Alongside Jesus, Martin Odegaard, Noni Madueke and Kai Havertz are poised to return to the playing field at the same point of time.

Arsenal already have a star-studded squad. The return of the quartet would represent a huge selection headache for manager Mikel Arteta.

Arteta may have to leave out some big stars from matchday squads. Arsenal face Burnley in Saturday's Premier League game on the road.
