Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta has revealed that Gabriel Jesus is fit enough to start against Sheffield United on Monday night. The Gunners have several injury concerns heading into the trip to Bramall Lane, with Jurrien Timber still ruled out.
Arsenal are currently third in the Premier League, just two points behind league-leaders Liverpool. The Gunners have high hopes of lifting the title, though injury problems are threatening to damage their aspirations.
They travel to relegation-battling Sheffield United with several key stars ruled out, particularly in defence. However, Arsenal fans were offered good news by Arteta in his pre-match press conference as the Spaniard has revealed that Jesus is fit enough to start against the Blades.
He said: “He’s fit enough. How long he will last that’s very different. We didn’t want to take any risks. We need him fit and now we want to make sure we load him in the right way.”
