Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta has offered a glimmer of hope for Gunners fans ahead of the crucial North London derby, revealing that striker Gabriel Jesus has a chance of being available for the match against Tottenham Hotspur on Sunday, September 15th.
Jesus sustained an injury a few weeks ago, leaving a significant void in the Arsenal attack. However, Arteta has confirmed that the Brazilian has returned to training and could be in contention for the highly anticipated clash against their rivals.
“Gabi was out there [training], he has another session today. If everything goes well he will be ready for the squad,” Arteta told the media.
The news will be welcomed by Arsenal fans, who have missed Jesus’s pace, movement, and goal-scoring threat. His return would provide a significant boost to the Gunners’ attacking options, offering Arteta more flexibility and firepower up front.
The North London derby is always a fiercely contested match, with both sides eager to claim bragging rights. Arsenal currently sits in 4th place on the Premier League table with 7 points, while Tottenham are looking to bounce back from a disappointing start to the season.
The potential return of Jesus would provide a significant advantage for Arsenal in their bid to secure a positive result against their fierce rivals. The Gunners will be hoping that Jesus can successfully complete his training sessions and be declared fit for the match, offering a much-needed boost in their quest for victory.
The North London derby is set to be a thrilling encounter, with both teams looking to make a statement. Whether or not Jesus will be able to feature remains to be seen, but his potential availability will be a significant talking point in the lead-up to the match.
