Arteta happy on Jesus return

Arsenal do not have time to rest according to their schedule

Mikel Arteta's side played a lot of games in the last month and still have 17 more games to play before the end of the season

The Gunners can win the Premier League title and the European Cup for the second time

It will be a great achievement for Arsenal this season, but there are still many games to play

Sunday's 3-0 win over Fulham meant Arsenal restored their five-point lead at the top of the Premier League.

The return of Gabriel Jesus after three months on the sidelines, gave Arteta new confidence

"Get stronger, it's his first match today after a long time. We didn't know if it was the right game today," Arteta admitted after the game.

"He told me a few days ago 'I'm not ready yet' but yesterday he told me 'I'm ready' and I said ok and we had the opportunity to give him a chance"

"It's the first step to give him a big boost. He looks free, he looks ready and immediately he created those two big chances. It's good to have him again," said Arteta

Thursday's Europa League last-16 second leg against Sporting CP offers a good opportunity for Arteta to give Jesus more minutes.

The 25-year-old played 13 minutes at Craven Cottage and could get more minutes in the next game

The three players who missed last week's draw in Lisbon all returned to action quickly. Martin Odegaard and Kieran Tierney missed the first match due to illness while Leandro Trossard became the first player to provide three assists in the first half of an away game in Premier League history
