Continues work over break Jesus continued to train over the break, slowly making his return from a torn ACL early in the year.

Impact It's been about 10 months since Jesus underwent surgery, so the general thought is that he should be close to returning. He's been training for a couple weeks and was initially given a December timeline. If all goes well, he'll continue to train fully and be an option for the senior team before 2025 is over.

Impact Jesus is still in his rehabilitation process of his long term knee injury and is expected to resume team training in December at best. That said, with the new addition of Viktor Gyokeres, the Brazilian's absence doesn't impact the starting XI of the Gunners since he will likely hold a rotation role once fully back fit.

Starts individual training Jesus (knee) has started to train individually, according to his club.

Impact Jesus is seeing a major update this week as the Brazilian was able to train individually, working with a ball and running. This does put him in a decent spot, although he is likely around a month from a return still. That said, he will likley only have a depth role once fit, battling behind the numerous signings the club brought in this campaign.

Impact There's no word on when Jesus will be ready to return to action, but he's several weeks away from returning to action even in a best-case scenario. Even when he's fit to return, Jesus will likely operate as one of the backup options behind Viktor Gyokeres, so he shouldn't carry a ton of fantasy upside in the near future.

ACL injury confirmed Jesus (knee) is set for surgery on his ACL and is done for the 2024/25 season, Arsenal announced.

Impact Jesus' season comes to an end after the ACL injury he suffered against Manchester United. It's obviously a major disappointment for the striker and a major blow for Arsenal. Jesus finishes the season with a lackluster three goals and no assists in 17 appearances (six starts) in the league. Kai Havertz is the top striking option left with Jesus injured.

Impact Jesus' potential long-term knee injury would be a significant blow to the team, as he had been in strong form as a starter in the front line, filling in for Bukayo Saka's (hamstring) injury. He scored three goals in his last four EPL matches. If the injury is confirmed to be serious, Kai Havertz could see increased playing time.
