Last week, Arteta defended his decision not to rest winger Bukayo Saka in a 1-0 Europa League win over PSV Eindhoven, saying the world’s top players are expected to perform at their best while playing every three days.

“I’m doing good recovery after the games – eating better, sleeping better, and enjoying the life in the Arsenal t-shirt a lot. So I’m ready to play 50, 60, 70 games per season,” Jesus told reporters ahead of Thursday’s game against PSV.

The Brazilian also said his teammates Saka and Gabriel Martinelli were on a different level in terms of fitness and energy.

“I think I am a player with a lot of energy and I run all the time, I fight all the time,” Jesus added.

“But when I train every day with them I realise I am not even close to them. They just don’t stop. They are machines, quality players as well all, and they’re still young, both 21.”
