Arsenal Premier League title prediction made amid 'very bad' Gabriel Jesus injury

Arsenal have been backed to win the Premier League title despite the injury suffered by Gabriel Jesus, with former England boss Sven Goran-Eriksson saying that the Gunners have what it takes.

However, their chances have been hampered by the news that Gabriel Jesus will miss a number of months following a knee injury suffered while on international duty with Brazil at the World Cup. The striker has scored five goals in 14 Premier League appearances so far this season and has been an important part of Mikel Arteta's side reaching the summit of the Premier League table.

The former Manchester City man has provided an update on the Medial Cruciate Ligament injury which is set to rule him out until February at the earliest having undergone successful surgery on December 6 having left the Brazil camp in Qatar. He posted a picture to Instagram of himself smiling as he left hospital with the caption: "Hora de ir para casa" (Time to go home).
