Mikel Arteta handed unlikely Arsenal lifeline after worrying Gabriel Jesus injury update

Mikel Arteta has been reminded he has the perfect option to come into the Arsenal line-up after Gabriel Jesus suffered an injury which could sideline him for up to a month.

Jesus, 25, suffered a knee injury as Brazil were defeated 1-0 by Cameroon on Friday evening, ruling him out for the remainder of the World Cup in Qatar. It marks a major blow for the Selecao, who are already without the services of talismanic forward Neymar as he battles an ankle issue and illness.

The Gunners also have significant cause for concern, as Jesus could be out of action for up to four weeks. The former Manchester City forward has chipped in with five goals and six assists at club level this season after arriving in a £45million summer transfer from the Etihad Stadium.
