Gabriel Jesus explains why he played on for 15 minutes AFTER horror knee injury

Arsenal talisman Gabriel Jesus has discussed why he felt like he could play on for another 15 minutes after sustaining a knee injury while at the World Cup with Brazil.

Jesus was forced to undergo knee surgery following a tear in his meniscus which was sustained during Brazil's clash against Cameroon out in Qatar. At the time, the forward managed to continue playing for another quarter of an hour before he was withdrawn by boss Tite.

Initially, judging by the way Jesus responded it seemed like an innocuous knock that would barely hinder his World Cup campaign, let alone rule him out of club action for more than three months.
