Arsenal captain Martin Odegaard has reacted after Gabriel Jesus posted footage of himself training without a leg brace on after surgery.

Jesus got injured at the World Cup and is now continuing his route back to full fitness as soon as he possibly can.

The Brazilian striker uploaded a video to Twitter and Instagram of him training in the gym with a physio, and near the end, he is seen without a brace or any leg support.

That is another important sign of progress for Jesus and Odegaard acknowledged it in the comments section on Instagram.

Odegaard reacts to Jesus video as fitness battle continues

Odegaard, like every Arsenal fan, will be hoping that Jesus is back on the pitch as quickly as possible to keep their title bid going.

He was among the comments as Jesus took to social media late last night to offer another update on his injury progress.

Arsenal did not play badly against Newcastle United on Tuesday night but were ultimately unable to find a way through in the 0-0 draw.

Eddie Nketiah did well and could not have done much more with the one chance he did have, but saw it saved well by Nick Pope.

But the lack of options for Arsenal to change the game off the bench was clear and if Jesus was fit, he would have started, with Nketiah thrown on later to try and win it.

The Gunners will want more firepower by the end of the transfer window, although at the moment, their priority is winger Mykhailo Mudryk, rather than a new striker to deputise for Jesus during his recovery.
