Arsenal handed huge Gabriel Jesus boost following injury scare in Liverpool victory

Arsenal have been handed a huge boost following an injury scare to striker Gabriel Jesus in their win over Liverpool on Sunday. The Brazilian has been key to the way the Gunners play, having a huge impact on the side since joining in the summer for roughly £45million.

The 25-year-old has been credited with lifting the standards at the club, with his positive attitude having just as much of an impact as his all-round quality. However, there were fears when he went to ground against the Reds, having been on the receiving end of an elbow from Kostas Tsimikas.

It took some time, but after some medical attention, he was back playing again before being substituted for Eddie Nketiah. "I don't know," Mikel Arteta said on whether the Brazilian had been knocked out. "I haven't been with the doctor yet, but I'm sure they're checking him. He seemed OK after the game. I don't actually know what happened, but we will obviously assess how he is."
