Gabriel Jesus back in full training with Arsenal

Arsenal forward Gabriel Jesus has returned to full training ahead of the Premier League clash against Sunderland on the road this weekend.

The Gunners are presently six points clear at the top of the table and could extend the gap with a victory over the Black Cats at the Stadium of Light.

Ahead of the game, they have been handed a huge boost with Jesus back in team training after a lengthy lay-off due to a serious knee ligament injury.

Saturday's encounter may come too soon for the former Manchester City attacker, but it won't be a surprise if he is included in the matchday squad.

Jesus is unlikely to start for the next few weeks at least. He could be limited to cameo appearances off the bench in order to build his match fitness.

Arsenal have won 10 consecutive games in all competitions, keeping eight clean sheets. They should be favourites to beat Sunderland this weekend.
