Gabriel Jesus 'is in contention to travel with Arsenal for their Europa League clash with Sporting Lisbon', with the Brazilian striker closing in on a return after three months out with a knee injury

Gabriel Jesus is reportedly in contention to travel with the Arsenal squad to Lisbon as the Brazilian forward closes in on a return following three months on the sidelines.

Jesus has been absent for the Gunners since undergoing surgery on a knee injury sustained at the World Cup in Brazil.

Arsenal boss Mikel Arteta revealed last week the star was edging closer to a return.

The Brazilian forward had been pictured training at the club's London Colney base.

According to the Sun, Jesus may be included in Arsenal's travelling party for Thursday's Europa League tie against Sporting Lisbon.
