The Mail report claims, as Gabriel Jesus is hopeful of making a playing return to the team soon, Arsenal medics are taking a cautious approach to his workload to ensure the ongoing knee complaint doesn’t worsen.
The Brazil international has been dogged by knee problems since joining Arsenal ahead of last season and those injury concerns are among the factors behind the club’s move to sign a new central striker this summer, with Ivan Toney, Victor Osimhen, Joshua Zirkzee and Viktor Gyokeres among those the Gunners have looked at.
Arsenal will also look to sign a new central midfielder. And a winger to supplement Bukayo Saka and Gabriel Martinelli will also be considered.
Meanwhile, Arsenal hope Takehiro Tomiyasu and Oleksandr Zinchenko could both be available for Monday’s trip to Sheffield United after recovering from injuries while Thomas Partey is also nearing a full return from groin surgery having been back in training.
