Arsenal are handed a MAJOR boost to their title hopes as Gabriel Jesus returns to training after Mikel Arteta said he was 'not far' from full fitness... with the forward looking to feature for the first time since the World Cup

Arsenal have been given a huge boost to their title challenge after Gabriel Jesus return to training ahead of their Europa League clash against Sporting Lisbon.

Jesus has not played for the Gunners since their 2-0 win over Wolves in November before picking up a knee injury with Brazil during the World Cup group stages that initially was set to rule him out for three months after having surgery.

There were fears that Arsenal's title charge would falter without Jesus - who joined from Manchester City for £50million last summer - but Mikel Arteta's men have rallied with Eddie Nketiah deputising well.
