Gabriel Jesus Set for Champions League Comeback Amidst Arsenal Injuries

Gabriel Jesus is expected to return for Arsenal in the Champions League after a long injury absence, though key players Declan Rice and Leandro Trossard join a list of absentees. Manager Mikel Arteta praised Jesus' swift recovery and confirmed the player's registration in place of the injured Max Dowman.

Gabriel Jesus is poised for a significant return to Arsenal as they face the Champions League, following a prolonged period on the sidelines due to an anterior cruciate ligament injury. Manager Mikel Arteta revealed on Tuesday that Declan Rice and Leandro Trossard would be unavailable due to illness and injury, respectively.

Jesus, out since January, resumed training last month, signaling a quicker recovery than expected. Arteta highlighted Jesus' determination as the key to his comeback, leading to his registration in the Champions League in place of young Max Dowman, who is sidelined with an ankle injury.

The return of Jesus is welcomed by Arsenal as they aim to maintain their perfect record in the Champions League, despite setbacks like their recent league loss to Aston Villa. Arteta emphasized the importance of maintaining focus as the team copes with their current challenges.
