Forgotten Arsenal star returns to training after 10 months out with serious knee injury

Gabriel Jesus has returned to Arsenal first-team training 10 months after rupturing the anterior cruciate ligament in his left knee.

The Brazillian forward underwent rounds of surgery and a rigorous rehabilitation programme after being stretchered off against Manchester United in January.

The injury came at a cruel time for Jesus, who was in a rich vein of form having scored six goals in seven games for The Gunners.

It also forced Mikel Arteta's hand in the transfer market, with the Spaniard moving to bring in Victor Gyokeres this summer to bolster his threadbare frontline.
