With the World Cup finally over, there's little time to rest as a chaotic domestic footballing schedule is right around the corner. Arsenal sit top of the pile and five points clear of second in the Premier League, with hopes that their second half of the season can be just as fruitful as the first.
There will be concerns over whether they will be the same side without Gabriel Jesus though, with the Brazilian injuring his knee on international duty. The 25-year-old underwent surgery shortly after and will be on the sidelines for months before he makes his return to action.
“It’s a huge blow for us, obviously,” Mikel Arteta told the official Arsenal website. “He’s such an important player: he’s brought something very different to the team and it’s impossible to replace him. But we have other players, other alternatives and we’ll try to get that sorted. The transfer window is another option.”
