Arsenal have been handed a blow to their hopes of winning the Premier League this season following the latest injury blow to Eddie Nketiah. The 23-year-old striker has proved integral to the Gunners' title charge, shouldering the goalscoring duties in the absence of Gabriel Jesus.
The Brazil international suffered medial ligament damage against Cameroon while on international duty at the World Cup. Jesus later returned to London for surgery on his knee before being enrolled on a lengthy rehabilitation program back at London Colney.
During the Brazilian's absence, Nketiah rose to the challenge and often fired Arsenal to a number of pivotal wins. However, the Gunners will now be without the Hale End Graduate until after the international break — late March to early April — due to an ankle injury, football.london understands.
