Mikel Arteta's Gabriel Jesus injury update could hand big Leeds chance to Arsenal star

Arsenal could be reliant on the goals of Eddie Nketiah this weekend, with Gabriel Jesus a doubt for the Gunners' trip to Elland Road.

Opting to rest the Brazilian against Bodo/Glimt in midweek, Mikel Arteta is said to be assessing the fitness of Jesus after struggling with an injury he sustained in the side's victory over Liverpool last week. Nketiah remained at the club amid questions over his future this summer and has largely been used as a substitute thus far.

Given Arsenal's strong start to both their European and domestic campaigns, the team's squad depth has often been brought into question should injuries begin to tot up. Oleksandr Zinchenko has missed the last two games and Arteta will hope to have both players fit this weekend.
