Arteta Rules Out January Exit for Gabriel Jesus as Arsenal Plan Managed Comeback

Arsenal prioritizes a cautious, club-controlled reintegration after his January ACL tear.

Overview

  • Jesus resumed full first-team training last week following roughly 10 months out, with the club sharing footage of his return.
  • Mikel Arteta said he is thrilled to have the striker back and has indicated he will not be allowed to leave in the January window.
  • Arsenal are exploring a behind-closed-doors friendly at their training ground to build his match fitness, according to the Mirror.
  • Everton, West Ham and Nottingham Forest have made enquiries, but Arsenal are discouraging moves, and Everton are weighing other striker options.
  • In an interview with Brazil’s Placar, Jesus said it makes no sense to leave now after surgery, as he targets minutes behind Kai Havertz and Viktor Gyokeres.
