Gabriel Jesus shared a picture on his Instagram story on Wednesday back wearing football boots again, after a long time away from the pitches at London Colney.

Charles Watts reports that Jesus is back doing some training on the grass, though the journalist adds that the forward is still probably at least a couple of months away from being available for match action.

The road back from an ACL injury is always a lengthy one, as Arsenal fans will be well aware, and returning to the training pitches is just another step on that journey.

Over the coming months Jesus has other milestones to hit, like training with the ball and training with the team, and even then Arsenal won’t throw him straight back into competitive matches.

In the past, the Gunners have had senior players drop down to the u21s for their first few games back after such a long absence. That could be the case again for Jesus this season.

In spite of all that, it’s still encouraging to see Jesus continuing to make positive progress. He likely won’t be back in action until October or November, but it seems he will have some part to play in the coming campaign.
