ARSENAL forward Gabriel Jesus continued his return from injury by taking part in a gym session on Tuesday.
The 25-year-old has been sidelined with a knee injury that he picked up while with Brazil during the World Cup.

He underwent surgery earlier this month and is expected to be out for a lengthy period of time.
And the former Manchester City man was spotted arriving at Arsenal's training centre on crutches just days before Christmas.
But Gunners supporters will be pleased to see he is back working in the gym as he took to social media to give an update to fans.
Alongside a picture of him on a machine with his knee strapped, he posted the caption: "Working 🙌 💪."
Jesus contributed five goals and seven assists in 20 appearances for Arsenal before the World Cup break.
And manager Mikel Arteta gave an update on Jesus prior to his side's 3-1 win over West Ham on Boxing Day - hinting at a potential replacement coming in during the January window.
He said: "With Gabi it’s difficult to put a time frame. I never gave a date. I said that we don’t know.
"It’s going to take some time for sure. He’s gone through surgery and that tells you the extent of the injury.
"We will be in the market always active and we will assess the biggest opportunities that we have."
Arsenal currently sit seven points clear of Newcastle at the top of the Premier League table.
Manchester City are a further point adrift ahead of their trip to Leeds on Wednesday.
