Gabriel Jesus, Eddie Nketiah: Arsenal injury news and return dates ahead of Sporting second leg

Arsenal have been handed a blow to their hopes of winning the Europa League this season following confirmation of Eddie Nketiah's ankle injury. The 23-year-old striker has played a key role in the Gunners campaign thus far, directly contributing towards three goals in six games.

Nketiah is expected to be on the sidelines until after the international break but the show must go on. Thankfully for the north London outfit, Mikel Arteta has been experimenting with Leandro Trossard, and sometimes Gabriel Martinelli, in the false-nine role recently.

And, with Gabriel Jesus on the mend, the Hale End graduate's absence appear to be manageable. The Arsenal boss will be keen to reintegrate the Brazilian back into the team very soon but he's admitted that he won't be given too much, too soon.
