😭 Arsenal confirm extent of Gabriel Jesus' injury | OneFootball

Premier League title contenders Arsenal have been dealt another body blow in their quest to bring home major honours under Mikel Arteta after learning the full extent of Gabriel Jesus' injury.

The Gunners striker looked to be slowly but surely finding his feet again under the Spanish boss, but was stretchered off during their penalty shootout loss against rivals Manchester United in the third round of the FA Cup.

"Further to being substituted during our match with Manchester United on Sunday, Gabriel Jesus has received extensive assessments, scans and specialist reviews which have confirmed that he has sustained an injury to the anterior cruciate ligament in his left knee", the Gunners revealed.

Jesus, who had six goals in his last five starts for the club, is one of just two strikers on the books at the Emirates, alongside German international Kai Havertz, and his confirmed absence will now leave Arsenal short of options to lead the line.
