Mikel Arteta must avoid Gary Neville concern coming true amid Arsenal Gabriel Jesus injury blow

The mid-season break for the World Cup has thrown up many different possibilities for the domestic season, with an unknown factor to how teams will return. Arsenal will be the happiest side of the bunch in the Premier League heading into it, sitting top of the table and five points clear of Manchester City in second.

However, the issue of not knowing how sides return could completely change the outcome of the campaign, though that may not be in favour of the Gunners. That's because key player Gabriel Jesus has picked up an injury while competing in the World Cup for his nation Brazil.

The 25-year-old picked up a knee injury in the final group game against Cameroon, with reports at first claiming that three-to-four weeks could be the time out, however new reports from Brazil claims it could be three months. That would see him sidelined until the tail end of the season.
