Gabriel Jesus is no longer using crutches, according to the Evening Standard.

The 26-year-old is making good progress and is now just wearing a full knee brace.

It is believed that he will be out for around three months, although the Gunners are keen not to put a timeframe on it and rush him back.

During Jesus’ absence, Eddie Nketiah has been leading the line for Mikel Arteta’s team, netting twice in three appearances.

His strike against West Ham has been nominated for the Premier League goal of the month.

The turn, the finish! 😍
