Six-time Premier League winner Rio Ferdinand has claimed he is worried about Arsenal's title hopes amid Gabriel Jesus' injury keeping him out of action until at least February. The striker sustained the injury to his right knee whilst away at the World Cup and has since undergone surgery.
The Gunners are currently top of the table after winning 12 of their opening 14 games, losing only once. Mikel Arteta's side are five points clear of reigning champions Manchester City and will be hoping for a first league win since 2004 under Arsene Wenger.
However, Jesus' absence could hinder their chances of glory in May after the striker played a starring role in his first four months at the club. After joining Arsenal alongside Oleksandr Zinchenko from City, Jesus scored five and assisted a further seven in 20 games.
