could face a long period off the field due to a possible knee injury. The striker was injured during the match in which he was defeated in the FA Cup. The initial suspicion is a rupture in the anterior cruciate ligament, which could mean the end of his participation in the European season. The injury occurred in the 38th minute of the first half, when the player clashed with Bruno Fernandes. After feeling the pain, he had to be taken off the field on a stretcher.
Gabriel Jesus took exams last Monday. Doctors will carry out a more detailed assessment to diagnose the full extent of the Brazilian player’s injury. “Gabriel Jesus? Great concern is what I feel. He had to go out on a stretcher holding his knee… so, unfortunately, he’s not doing well at all,” Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta said on Tuesday.
“Now we know more, and the news is not good. We need another review with a specialist and will probably know more details this afternoon. I don’t want to confirm anything until we have the final report. That’s the doctor’s job. But we were very worried after the game and today we are still very worried”, continued the coach.
Gabriel Jesus was having a good time wearing the Arsenal shirt. The striker had scored six goals in the English team’s last seven matches for different competitions.
