Arsenal are sweating over the fitness of star striker Gabriel Jesus after the forward injured his knee in Brazil's final World Cup group stage match against Cameroon. The 25-year-old featured in a rotated side named by Tite, having already qualified for the last-16 of the tournament.
Unfortunately for Jesus, his first start in the competition came to a premature end as he came off just after the hour mark with a concern. After the game, it was revealed that the former Manchester City man would be missing the rest of the competition due to the injury.
There were reports that suggested the striker had started the game despite feeling pain in his knee beforehand, but those claims were shut down by the Selecao head coach: "These are evil lies, from those who want to do bad things to others,” Tite told reporters. "Not at any time here in the national team did we pay the price for victory with the health of an athlete."
