Impact Jesus is progressing through his recovery program, and could be back as soon as a Sept. 15 trip to Tottenham for the North London Derby.

Nine goal contributions Jesus scored four times and assisted five more goals in 27 appearances (17 starts) in the Premier League.

Impact Jesus wasn't at his best, and he ended the season with far fewer goal contributions than his first season in London. Still on the whole it was a solid season from the attacker, even if Kai Havertz ended the season as the preferred striking option.

Assist in win over Cherries Jesus created an assist and a chance in Saturday's 3-0 victory over AFC Bournemouth.

Unused sub versus Luton Jesus was an unused substitute during Wednesday's 2-0 win over Luton Town.

Impact Jesus keeps struggling to find playing time since he returned from his latest injury, staying unused on the bench for the second time, something that just didn't happen last season. With Arsenal having some many players up front playing well and Gabriel Martinelli also recovered from injury, Jesus will have to display his best version when given the chance to play to recover the starting spot he once had locked up.

Three shots in draw Jesus registered three shots (zero on goal) and one chance created in Sunday's 0-0 draw versus Manchester City. In addition, he was given a yellow card in the 67th minute.

He wasn't too impressive in his return to the starting role, as he notched one chance created and three shots. He will hope to now continue getting the start, looking to improve on his four league goals.

Impact Jesus returned to the team sheet last week but went unused following a four-match absence due to a knee issue. However, now he appears to be set to play and earn the start against Sheffield. The biggest question around the player at the moment is how long he will last, as he is not expected to play the full 90 but should still be a part of the game for a decent amount of time. The club will just want to avoid any injuries and preserve their player for the rest of the season as they stay tight-knit in the title race, with the forward missing a total of nine matches this season due to a plethora of injuries.

Impact Jesus is still trying to up his fitness levels following his knee issues, as he was added to the team sheet for Saturday's match against Newcastle but went unused off the bench in the win. It has now been five matches since the forward saw the pitch last, but he will hope to change that Monday, hoping to earn some time and possibly the start when they take on Sheffield United, as he has started in all but five matches this season when healthy.

On bench against Magpies Jesus (knee) is on the bench for Saturday's match against Newcastle.

Impact Jesus is back with the team after missing the past four matches due to a knee issue, however, he lines up on the bench, outside of his regular starting spot as a striker. He should see the starting XI next week when they face Sheffield and will hope to start getting back to his goal-scoring ways, as Arsenal's biggest concern this season has been not having a true No. 9, with Jesus only bagging four goals in 17 Premier League contests.

Impact Jesus continues to make his way back from the knee injury, though his return seems to still be at the final hurdle despite more than a week back in training. If the striker could return it would be a major boon for the first team, as he is the preferred striking option over Leandro Trossard or Kai Havertz.

Still unavailable Jesus (knee) did not travel for Wednesday's clash with Porto, according to Simon Collins of the Evening Standard.

Impact Jesus will still be sidelined for Wednesday's clash despite reportedly getting neared to a full return.

No change in knee injury Jesus (knee) remains out for Sunday's trip to West Ham, according to manager Mikel Arteta, who offered no update on his injury.

Impact Jesus' last update was that he suffered a setback to this same knee injury and he remains on the sideline. The injury is hoped to be a minor one but still the fact it's been a recurring problem doesn't bode well for Jesus moving forward. With Jesus out Kai Havertz or Eddie Nketiah will be called upon to lead the line.

Starts against Crystal Palace Jesus (knee) has made the XI to face Crystal Place on Saturday.

Game-time call for Saturday Jesus (knee) is among the doubtful players to face Crystal Palace on Saturday, manager Mikel Arteta told media during his pre-game press conference Friday.

Impact Jesus was spotted training on a stationary bike and then on the pitch Monday, and there's a chance he could return to face the Eagles on Saturday; as Arteta mentioned, there are several players who are "touch and go" for the weekend clash. If Jesus is not fit to start, then Eddie Nketiah or Leandro Trossard could play as striker.

Pictured at training Monday Jesus (knee) was viewed training on a stationary bike ahead of Arsenal's match against Crystal Palace on Saturday.

Impact Jesus was back in training Monday after picking up a knee injury, but he was only training on a stationary bike, having yet to return to practice with the rest of the team. There is still a chance the forward will be healthy by the weekend for their match against Crystal Palace, as he still has five days to rejoin group training before the contest. However, if he is not ready by the weekend, expect Eddie Nketiah or Leandro Trossard to get the start at striker once again, most likely holding that spot until Jesus is fully healthy, as the club will not want the Brazilian to face an extended absence, already missing six games this season due to injury.
