Last Updated : 10-Dec-2025 by Footymad

Arsenal have officially registered Gabriel Jesus in their Champions League squad, replacing the injured 15-year-old Max Dowman.

Mikel Arteta confirmed today that Jesus has made a quicker-than-expected recovery from his long-term injury, pushing to return ahead of schedule.

The swap is possible under UEFA rules allowing a change for a long-term injury.

Jesus's return provides a timely boost for the Gunners' attack, which has been severely hampered by injuries in recent weeks.
