While the World Cup has brought entertainment to the lives of many football fans for the last two weeks, fears eventually became reality for the Arsenal faithful after an injury to star man Gabriel Jesus ruled him out of the tournament.
There had been very little information available since the Brazilian left Qatar over the weekend, but Arsenal confirmed on Tuesday that he had undergone successful surgery on his knee and that a rehab programme would start immediately.
It is a significant blow to Jesus - and Arsenal - who currently sit top of the Premier League after fourteen games. His summer arrival from Manchester City has transformed Mikel Arteta’s side, proving to be instrumental to the team's impressive start to the season.
