Pep Guardiola sends message of support to 'important' Gabriel Jesus after Arsenal injury blow

Arsenal star Gabriel Jesus is set to be out of action until February after he suffered a serious knee injury during the World Cup. The 25-year-old has been influential since arriving at the Emirates Stadium in the summer transfer window.

Jesus won four Premier League title during his time with Manchester City but was allowed to leave the club following the arrival of Erling Haaland at the Etihad Stadium. The Brazilian striker reunited with Mikel Arteta at Arsenal and has already notched 13 goal contributions in 20 appearances for the Gunners.

Jesus' absence could hinder Arsenal's Premier League title challenge against his former side, despite the north London outfit holding a five-point advantage over City at the top of the table. Arteta has hinted that the Gunners may dip into the transfer market in January to find a short-term replacement for their star striker as they look to pick up where they left off before the World Cup.
