Injuries are once again causing all sorts of problems for Arsenal.

Gabriel Magalhaes is expected to be out for at least four weeks, and that news has dominated the headlines in recent days.

However, the real issue is at the other end of the pitch. Viktor Gyokeres, Noni Madueke, Martin Odegaard, Gabriel Martinelli and Kai Havertz are all out injured.

Mikel Arteta needs solutions in attack, and one man could solve his problems now – Gabriel Jesus.

Gabriel Jesus could save Arsenal’s attack

Arsenal have a massive week coming up.

The Gunners first host Tottenham Hotspur in the North London Derby before facing Bayern Munich in the Champions League. Then, they take on Chelsea.

This week could define Arsenal’s season, but they could go into those games without both Gyokeres and Havertz.

That means Mikel Merino is likely to lead the line, but Arteta has Jesus back in full training now, and he could become a surprise option.

The Brazil international hasn’t played a minute of football since he got injured in January. It has been so long that Thierry Henry actually forgot that Jesus was still at Arsenal.

However, the former Manchester City star has returned now, and he has a point to prove. What better way to do it than have a positive impact in the games against Spurs, Bayern and Chelsea?

If he does, particularly against the two English sides, Arsenal’s chances of winning the Premier League will increase.

Gabriel Jesus looks sharp in Arsenal training

Jesus suffered a terrible knee injury during a game against Manchester United back in January.

The Brazilian was in good form at the time, but he had to undergo surgery and has been out of action since.

Coming back from an ACL injury is never easy, but Jesus has looked sharp in training.

Arsenal released a video of Jesus on their social channels during a shooting drill, and the Brazilian scored multiple goals with both feet.

Yes, matches are very different from training, but this is a very promising sign ahead of his return.
