Arsenal striker Gabriel Jesus informs Khabib of comeback date

Arsenal striker Gabriel Jesus expects to return to action at the end of March.

The Brazilian has given his teammates a much needed boost as they prepare for an extensive fixture list in the coming weeks.

While Eddie Nketiah has been leading the line brilliantly in Jesus' absence, the forward will be welcomed back with open arms by manager Mikel Arteta.

Footage shared on social media showcased a meeting between Jesus and former undefeated UFC lightweight champion Khabib Nurmagomedov.

In that footage, shared on social media, Jesus stated: "Maybe four or five weeks more I come back."

Arsenal are at the top of the Premier League, with Manchester City their only remaining title challengers.
