Gabriel Jesus, the Brazilian striker, who was out for three months is finally ready to make his comeback against seventh ranked Fulham in an away fixture at Craven Cottage. He was out since the World Cup held in Qatar.
At this stage of the Premier League, it could be one of the best news the “Gunners” will receive, as addition of Jesus might boost their chances of winning a Premier League triumph after 2004, when the team won under its mastermind, Arsene Wenger.
On the cusp of making history
Arsenal is having a dream run this season. Sitting on the top of the table with 63 points, with Manchester City trailing behind by 2 points, it might be making history by winning the League after 19 years.
With the likes of Martinelli, Odegaard, Ramsdale, Saka and under the watchful vigil of Arteta, it is flying high, and is well on course to become the champions.
So, addition of Jesus at this stage of the tournament, where every game is crunch for the Gunners, it might be a boost for the front line-up which is creating wonders this season.
Back where he left at
Jesus was having an impressive season before being forced off due to injury. He has five goals and five assists to his name, and will try to continue this impressive string of scoring. After injured, he spent some time overseas for treatment, and was assisted by the team’s medics in January, only to return to full team training few weeks later.
Ready for revenge
Last time when these teams faced each other, at Emirates stadium, it was Arsenal who emerged victorious, making a comeback from being 0-1 down to winning 2-1, courtesy to goals from Odegaard and Gabriel. This time, Fulham, with the home support from the stands, might be ready for pouncing upon the Gunners, vowing to avenge the defeat from their previous meeting.
