What Neymar 'loved' about Arsenal win over Fulham as Mikel Arteta reveals Gabriel Jesus chat

Neymar and Vinicius Junior were among thousands to send Gabriel Jesus messages of support following his return from injury at the weekend

Neymar was delighted to see Gabriel Jesus finally make his return from injury in Arsenal's win over Fulham. The Gunners striker suffered medial ligament damage against Cameroon while on international duty for Brazil at the World Cup.

Jesus later returned to London for surgery on his knee before being enrolled on a lengthy rehabilitation program back at London Colney.

In a short but simple reply, Neymar posted a red heart emoji under Jesus' post. Vinicius Junior, who also commented under the post, claimed he is 'happy as hell' to see his fellow countryman back on the pitch.

"He said to me a few days ago 'I’m still missing something'. Yesterday I looked in his eyes and he said. 'I’m ready'. I said. 'OK!' So then we had the opportunity to throw him in.

"It’s that first step to give him the big boost. He looks free, he looks ready and straight away he generated those two big chances. It’s great to have him back."

"He wanted more and more and more, he was very willing to get back. To see him there with a smile on his face was a joy, I was really happy for him."
