LONDON (AP) — Brazil striker Gabriel Jesus has played for Arsenal for the first time since sustaining an injury during the World Cup.
Jesus came on as a 77th-minute substitute in Arsenal's 3-0 win at Fulham in the Premier League on Sunday.
It was his first appearance since undergoing surgery on a medial collateral ligament injury on Dec. 6.
Arsenal has hardly suffered in his absence, with the team still first in the Premier League and five points clear of Manchester City.
