Arteta Assesses Gabriel Jesus' Readiness for Upcoming Clash
Arsenal's manager, Mikel Arteta, has shed light on the fitness status of Gabriel Jesus in anticipation of the imminent face-off against Brentford at the GTech Stadium. The Gunners are slated to engage in a late Premier League encounter on Saturday.
Reports reveal Gabriel Jesus, the 25-year-old forward, actively participated for Brazil during their 2026 World Cup qualifiers against Argentina. Impressively, he endured a full 96 minutes on the field against their arch-rivals.
Following an injury setback that sidelined Jesus for several weeks, recent developments indicate his successful recovery.
Addressing the media on Friday, Mikel Arteta expressed Jesus' availability to spearhead the team's attack. However, the Spanish tactician refrained from confirming whether Jesus would commence the game due to concerns regarding the extensive flight hours upon his return to London.
Providing insights into Jesus' fitness, Arteta emphasized, "He’s available. He played 96 minutes in a really competitive match [vs. Argentina]." Nevertheless, the Arsenal boss affirmed his intent to make a final decision regarding the squad selection destined to confront Brentford.
Having secured a victory against Burnley in their previous Premier League outing before the international break, Arsenal aims to further solidify their form.
Arteta elaborated, stating, "We have another session, they had a long flight & I have to see the condition of every single player to make the final call on the lineup."
