Arteta explained that Gabriel Jesus is backing training with the team, adding: "Now is about making the steps day by day, in a different surrounding. Now he has competitive players around him, see how he copes with that. He is full of energy. I love the reaction of his team-mates."

Mikel Arteta is thrilled to have Gabriel Jesus return to training as our manager gave a fitness update on his whole squad ahead of our trip to Sunderland.

Mikel Arteta is excited about the return of the "very unpredictable" Gabriel Jesus from injury following a lengthy rehabilitation. The Brazilian forward has been sidelined by a brutal knee injury since January in an FA Cup encounter with Manchester United.

Jesus’ contract with Arsenal runs until 2027, and he has expressed his desire to remain with the club for the foreseeable future. The attacker has stated that he intends to honour his existing agreement and will not consider leaving during the next two transfer windows,
