Arsenal in huge Gabriel Jesus injury boost as striker is spotted in ‘secret’ training session after Bournemouth win
ARSENAL have been handed a boost to their title hopes after Gabriel Jesus was spotted participating in a training session after the Bournemouth game.
The Gunners secured a late comeback victory thanks to Reiss Nelson’s last-gasp effort.
However, the big picture saw Arsenal take a blow with Leandro Trossard going off injured to leave Mikel Arteta’s side with even less firepower.
Gabriel Jesus has not featured since the World Cup following knee surgery.
While Eddie Nketiah missed training and was left out of the team entirely for the Bournemouth clash.
But Jesus’ return to Arsenal training, albeit in a warm-down, could restore the missing firepower the Gunners lack throughout the squad.
Nketiah came into the side and initially performed well, scoring four goals in his first five games.
Despite this, the goals soon dried up, with Nketiah failing to score in any of his last six league games.
Prior to his injury, Jesus had scored five league goals but also added six assists.
The Brazilian was spotted celebrating Arsenal’s winner alongside the rest of the squad while wearing a full kit.

The win yesterday ensured Arsenal remained five points clear of Manchester City at the top of the table.
