Gabriel Jesus has travelled to Brazil for international duty despite being unable to play for Arsenal for nearly three weeks due to an injury.

The striker damaged his hamstring during Arsenal's win at Sevilla on October 24 and has not be included in a matchday squad since.

Jesus has been working on his recovery and watched from his box as his team-mates beat Burnley 3-1 on Saturday afternoon.

His injury did not stop Brazil making the decision to call him up last week and he has now made his way to his home country to join up with the squad.
