Arsenal striker Gabriel Jesus’ injury could be out for the rest of the season after suffering a knee injury against Manchester United in their FA Cup defeat last night.
The Gunners are currently undergoing a bit of an injury crisis in attack with Bukayo Saka out since months and not expected to be back till March. Raheem Sterling has struggled for form and fitness, having just returned from a knee injury himself.
And the latest setback comes in the form of Brazilian striker Gabriel Jesus, who was in a good for Arsenal.
The attacker was stretchered off in the 40th minute of the match after a clash with Bruno Fernandes that left the attacker with his knee injured.
Arteta provided a worrying update about the injury, confirming that it is a serious one. He said after the game:
“Big worry, that’s my feeling. He had to come off on a stretcher with a lot of pain, touching his knee. It’s not looking good.”
