Off-duty at Arsenal, Gabriel Jesus uses Palmeiras training base | OneFootball

On break from Arsenal during the FIFA international window, forward Gabriel Jesus returned to his roots and showed up at the training center of Palmeiras, the club where he came through the ranks, to keep up his training routine. This Wednesday, the forward was at the Academia de Futebol working on his fitness.

The plan had already been arranged by Arsenal and included Palmeiras granting permission for him to use the facilities. The player shared his visit to Verdão’s training center on social media.

“It’s something I’ve always done throughout my career during breaks. I think it’s possible to make the most of both things — time with family, with the people we love, without neglecting our health and fitness. Everyone knows Palmeiras is like my home; it’s where I grew up, and the doors are always open for me to go to the club, so there’s no big secret. Arsenal and Palmeiras have a great relationship and approved me training here,” Gabriel Jesus said.

Gabriel Jesus returned to action in December 2025 after spending ten months out with an anterior cruciate ligament injury in his left knee. Since then, he has scored five goals and provided one assist in 21 matches.

Arsenal schedule

Arsenal return to training next week ahead of their FA Cup quarterfinal clash against Southampton on April 4. Then, on April 7, the team begins its bid for a place in the Champions League semifinals against Sporting in Portugal.

Jesus’ history at Palmeiras

Brought into the senior team by Palmeiras, the forward played for the club from late 2012 until December 2016, when he moved to Manchester City, with Pep Guardiola already in charge. He made his first-team debut in 2015 under coach Oswaldo Oliveira.

For Verdão, he played 83 matches and scored 29 goals. He also won two titles: the Copa do Brasil (2015) and the Brazilian Championship (2016).

In 2025, the forward celebrated the 10th anniversary of his first professional title with the club, the 2015 Copa do Brasil, which at the time marked the first trophy in the history of the then newly inaugurated Allianz Parque and the beginning of the club’s rebuilding process.
