The Arsenal striker has shared a positive update on his injury after he underwent knee surgery.

The Brazilian star has been on the sidelines for weeks now after he picked up a knee injury while playing in the World Cup.

Metro UK reports that Jesus' injury came at a time he had hit the ground running at the Emirates Stadium following his sensational summer transfer from Man City.

The 25-year-old had distinguished himself as a key squad member in Arsenal's Premier League title charge, having scored five Premier League goals before his injury setback.

However, it seems the striker's journey to recovery is progressing well after he posted a positive update on Wednesday morning, January 11.

The Brazil international shared an image of himself working out on an exercise bike with the caption: "Five weeks."

What was outstanding from the photo is that the star forward was not wearing the knee brace which has been part of his rehabilitation.

When will Jesus return?

While there is no definite time on when the former Man City ace will return to action, many Arsenal fans would hope that the 'five weeks' update would signify the time left before his comeback.

Back in December, Mikel Arteta was hesitant to put a timescale on the forward's return while addressing the issue.

However, it is anticipated that Jesus could be sidelined until March, with Eddie Nketiah filling the void left by his teammate.
