Arsenal star Gabriel Jesus has explained how injury to William Saliba cost his side the Premier League title to Manchester City last season. It comes after a transformative campaign for the Gunners that saw them from perennial Champions League outsiders to trophy challengers.
The signings of Jesus alongside Oleksandr Zinchenko and the return of Saliba from a loan spell with Marseille helped take Mikel Arteta's team to new heights. A blistering start to the season saw the north London outfit set the pace for the majority of the campaign, with each game strengthening their title credentials.
The World Cup break in November complicated things, with Jesus getting injured after an ideal start to his career at the Emirates Stadium. But even his absence couldn't seemingly stop their push, with Eddie Nketiah and later Leandro Trossard helping to fill the void.
