Do Not Sell My Personal Information
Injured Arsenal striker Gabriel Jesus has provided a positive update on his recovery.
THE LOWDOWN: SIDELINED
Following his summer switch, Jesus was brilliant in the opening weeks of the season at Arsenal, helping the Gunners mount an unprecedented title challenge before proceeding to the World Cup in Qatar with Brazil.
He was able to make three group-stage appearances before a knee injury cut his tournament short, as the South Americans got knocked out in the quarterfinals of the tournament.
He was forced to return to London where he has since undergone surgery and begun his rehabilitation and a possible return date of February has been reported.
THE LATEST: NEW UPDATE
Arsenal forward Gabriel Jesus has hinted on social media that he no longer requires crutches, signalling positive progress in his injury rehab.
Jesus sustained an injury in his knee when Brazil faced Cameroon in their final group stage game in Qatar – a game the Selecao would lose 1-0.
Having previously been spotted at the Emirates Stadium wearing a knee brace and holding a pair of crutches, Jesus has now apparently gotten rid of the crutches. On Instagram, the Brazilian posted a photo of a pair of crutches with the caption ‘freedom sang’ indicating that he does not need them to walk anymore.
THE VERDICT: GOOD NEWS
This is some encouraging news for Arsenal and her fans. However, the forward is still expected to spend a considerable amount of time out and should not make a return until February. Regardless, it goes to show that his rehabilitation is going according to plan.
