Man City whiz Gabriel Jesus in line for shock Arsenal return

Gabriel Jesus is in line for a shock return to action for Manchester City this weekend.

Reports suggest that Brazilian striker is being considered for Sunday's FA Cup semi-final clash with Arsenal at Wembley, despite having not played since February.

Jesus broke a bone in his foot which was initially expected to sideline him for the rest of the season but City medicos have been surprised by the speed of his recovery.

The 19-year-old has impressed manager Pep Guardiola in training this week and could quite possibly be back in the City squad for the final four cup meeting with the Gunners.
