Arsenal Add Gabriel Jesus to Champions League Squad as Martinelli Chases Club Record

UEFA's injury provision enabled his registration for the Club Brugge match.

Overview

  • Gabriel Jesus has been out since last season with an ACL injury and has recently been named in matchday squads without featuring.
  • Arsenal registered Jesus for Europe by replacing the injured Max Dowman under UEFA’s injury-replacement rule.
  • The Brazilian forward could make his competitive return against Club Brugge on Wednesday following his addition to the roster.
  • Gabriel Martinelli has scored in four consecutive Champions League matches and would be the first Arsenal player to make it five in a row with another goal.
  • Martinelli said European matches provide more attacking space than the Premier League and described Jesus as “one of the best strikers in the world.”
