Gabriel Jesus could return from injury for Manchester City when they face Arsenal in the 2017 FA Cup semi-final at Wembley Stadium on Sunday.

The explosive Brazilian has recovered from a broken metatarsal and will travel with the Sky Blues squad to London, according to David Anderson of the Mirror.

The Gunners can rescue a disappointing season with victory over City, booking themselves a spot in the final. Arsenal appear set to miss out on booking UEFA Champions League football for next season, as they are struggling to make the top four in the Premier League.

Jesus is set to return to manager Pep Guardiola's first-team squad at a time when his team needs him most.

The Sky Blues are desperate to add a trophy in Guardiola's first year in charge at the Etihad Stadium, but Arsenal coach Arsene Wenger is a master in the competition.

Jesus limped out of City's immediate plans in February, when he was in rampant form after arriving from Brazil, and his presence will cause the Gunners concerns.

Arsenal are missing a number of players for the short hop to Wembley, with five key individuals unavailable.

According to BBC Sport, Shkodran Mustafi, Danny Welbeck, Lucas Perez, David Ospina and Santi Cazorla are all injured. However, Wenger remained upbeat ahead of the clash, telling reporters:

"
It's an opportunity to win a trophy this season. What I expect when you go into a semi-final is to go to the final.
It is a special experience and, for us, I think we are focused, highly motivated.
Maybe not at the maximum of our confidence because we had recently some disappointing results, but that is a good opportunity to show we are ready for a fight and how much we want to go to the final.
"

The Gunners have only been defeated once in their past 21 FA Cup matches, losing in last season's quarter-final to Watford.

Sunday's game has huge significance for both managers, who crave success in bigger competitions but have been forced to place their eggs in a smaller basket.

Guardiola's side have played with flair and purpose this term, but Arsenal's attackers have enough guile to exploit their weak defence.
