""It was 11 months, 11 months of doubting yourself," he said. "My first thoughts were like, why? You always keep questioning why and the reason why. It wasn't an easy season for me last season and then, at the moment I stepped in and started to play, started to score goals and play good, this happened.""
""So every single day for the first two or three weeks, I asked why it happened to me. And then I understood that I needed to be closer to Jesus, to God, to read the Bible. It helped me so much, you know, because it kept me believing that I'm a son of God and then I could do everything if I felt God's plans.""
Gabriel Jesus made his first appearance in 332 days for Arsenal in a 3-0 Champions League win at Club Brugge after rupturing the anterior cruciate ligament in his left knee. He had scored six goals in seven matches before the injury and missed almost a year of action. Jesus experienced prolonged self-doubt during recovery and questioned why the injury occurred.
