Arsenal handed major Gabriel Jesus injury update amid Brazil World Cup blow

Gabriel Jesus is set to miss the rest of the World Cup after sustaining a knee injury, according to reports.

The Arsenal forward was forced to come off during Brazil's 1-0 defeat to Cameroon in the final game of the World Cup group stages after suffering with pain in his right knee. Now football.london understands that the 25-year-old has been ruled out for three to four weeks after scans detected an injury.

Those same reports claim that Jesus had been dealing with discomfort during some matches for Arsenal as they opened up a five point lead at the top of the Premier League before the World Cup break. Assuming the reports are accurate this would see Jesus miss the Gunners first competitive game back against West Ham on Boxing Day at the Emirates Stadium. There is hope that he will be able to return by January though.
