Before Arsenal plays Newcastle in the Premier League, Gabriel Jesus has been spotted with the team.

Due to a knee ιnjury, the striker has missed the last four games and was unable to go to Porto for the Champions League match during the week. Jesus’ availability for this weekend’s game against Newcastle was in doubt because he hadn’t been observed in training.

But a video of the player with the team is making the rounds on social media, raising the possibility that he might return. During his pre-game press conference, Mikel Arteta expressed optimism on his availability.

“Let’s investigate. Regarding Thomas Partey, who resumed training this week, Arteta remarked, “We have another session today.” He hasn’t been seen in many, many months. When he has enough left in the tank to compete, we really need to nail the time. However, I believe he’s pretty near.”

“Gabi is the same. He’s undertaken a few projects. Additionally, Alex [Zinchenko] is also nearby.

In the event that Jesus returns against Newcastle, the Gunners would greatly benefit from his arrival. The Brazilian scored and provided an assist in the 2-1 victory over Nottingham Forest in his final match before the ιnjury.

Arsenal hopes to catch up to Liverpool at the top of the Premier League going into this match. In their midweek match against Luton Town, the Reds overcame a deficit to win 4-1 and extend their lead over third-place Arsenal to five points.

The Gunners have an opportunity to trim that lead to two points this weekend when they play Liverpool in the Carabao Cup final. When Man City plays Bournemouth at the Vitality Stadium on Saturday at 5.30 p.m., they will likewise be trying to trim the gap. Man City is now in second place.
