Arsenal and Brazil star Gabriel Jesus 'facing three months out' after World Cup injury blow

Arsenal striker Gabriel Jesus is facing up to three months out of action after picking up a knee injury while at the World Cup, according to reports. Jesus was ruled out of the rest of the tournament on Saturday after being forced off injured in Brazil's 1-0 defeat to Cameroon.

Jesus had appeared for only 28 minutes in A Selecao's opening two tournament games against Serbia and Switzerland but was named in Tite's starting XI for the final group game on Friday alongside Gunners' teammate Gabriel Martinelli. However, the 25-year-old was forced to come off after sustaining a knock to his knee.

Yesterday (Saturday), football.london reported that the Gunners forward would miss three weeks of action, ruling him out of Boxing Day's Premier League return. However, reports overnight have suggested the injury is much worse than first anticipated.
