A Portuguese national sports newspaper says Gabriel Jesus will travel with Arsenal to Lisbon.

Respected Iberian publication A Bola claims that the injured Gunners star will be jetting off with the rest of Mikel Arteta's squad today, Wednesday (March 8).

The North Londoners trained at the club's HQ London Colney thnis morning, prior to flying out to the Portuguese capital.

The 25-year-old former Manchester City attacker has not played since picking up an injury in early December while playing for Selecao against Cameroon during the World Cup.

The Brazil star scored five goals and provided seven assists in his first 20 games for the club, but has not featured for Arsenal since the 2-0 victory over Wolves at Molinuex on November 12.

However, A Bola insist the star is set to travel with Arteta's Arsenal squad, noting Jesus is nearing a full recovery.
