Arsenal defender Oleksandr Zinchenko conceded Gabriel Jesus will be a "big miss" during the second half of the Premier League season after undergoing knee surgery.
The Ukrainian international failed to offer any kind of optimism in spite of the injury, simply acknowledging that Jesus' absence will be a major obstacle for the Gunners to overcome this term. The 25-year-old striker is thought to have sustained the knee injury while away on World Cup duty with Brazil, but some have claimed he carried the knock into the tournament.
Zinchenko has told Sky Sports that all the Arsenal players can do is lift the Brazilian's spirits and help the mental side of his recovery process, claiming: ‘I said already that we are all behind him, we are all supporting him.
