Arsenal boss Arteta: Gabriel Jesus ready for Fulham

Arsenal boss Mikel Arteta says Gabriel Jesus is fit for the derby against Fulham.

The Brazil striker missed much of preseason due to a knee strain.

However, he returned to training on Thursday and Arteta says he'll be in the matchday squad for their clash with Fulham.

"I was really happy. It was a big blow after the preseason he had to have surgery," the Arsenal manager said in his pre-match press conference on Friday afternoon.

"He's looking good. He's ready to go."
