One of Arsenal’s most feared nightmares became a reality this week after Gabriel Jesus underwent surgery on a knee injury that could keep him out for up to three months.
The 25-year-old departed Qatar and Brazil’s World Cup camp early in order to return to the UK for further tests, which ultimately revealed the news nobody wanted to hear.
Jesus has been instrumental for the Gunners so far this season, scoring five goals and providing seven assists in 20 appearances. His quality, energy and winning mentality have seen a significant shift in the team’s performances and are undoubtedly some of the many reasons Arsenal sit top of the Premier League.
