Arsenal will manage Gabriel Jesus through the season finale to avoid further flare-ups of his persistent knee problems.

The Gunners striker hasn’t played since January 30 due to a knee issue, though he was an unused substitute in Saturday’s win over Newcastle.

And while Jesus is hopeful of making a playing return soon, Mail Sport understands Arsenal medics are taking a cautious approach to his workload to ensure the ongoing knee complaint doesn’t worsen.

Jesus has suffered with fluid in the knee and it is a situation that needs attention in between games.
