Arsenal's worst fears regarding Gabriel Jesus' injury appear to have come true.
Speculation surrounding the striker's expected time on the sidelines has been rampant ever since he was forced to come off during Brazil's 1-0 defeat at the hands of Cameroon in their final game of the World Cup group stages last Friday after suffering from pain in his right knee.
Initially, as reported by football.london, the Gunners' £45m summer signing from Manchester City was facing up to three to four weeks on the sidelines after scans detected an injury. Of course, this was the ideal scenario for manager Mikel Arteta who would have only had to make do without Jesus for games against West Ham United, Brighton and potentially Newcastle United.
