Footage on social media has emerged of Jesus having a conversation about his injury with UFC legend Khabib Nurmagomedov in the stands after Arsenal's victory over Man United.
The Brazilian provided a positive update during that conversation, revealing that he may be in a position to return from his knee injury within the next "four or five weeks".
Jesus enjoyed a bright start to the 2022-23 campaign with Mikel Arteta's side, scoring five goals and providing seven assists in 20 appearances across all competitions.
However, he sustained a knee injury at the 2022 World Cup in Qatar and came home from the tournament early before the South American giants were eventually eliminated at the quarter-final stage.
Arsenal have managed to cope without his presence in attack, with Nketiah in particular stepping up to fill the central void, scoring five goals in as many appearances across all competitions since the World Cup break.
Bukayo Saka, Gabriel Martinelli and captain Martin Odegaard have also chipped in with important goals in recent weeks to keep Arsenal's Premier League title hopes alive.
The Gunners currently sit five points clear of Manchester City at the top of the Premier League table, but victory in their game in hand would see them extend their lead to eight points.
Arteta and co are now preparing for an FA Cup fourth-round tie against the Citizens at the Etihad Stadium on Friday, before returning to top-flight action with an away trip to managerless Everton on February 4.
