Arsenal defender Takehiro Tomiyasu has called Gabriel Jesus' knee injury a "shame" after the Brazilian picked up a knee injury at the World Cup that could keep him out for three months. The striker was forced off shortly after the hour mark in Brazil's group-stage defeat to Cameroon and will miss the rest of the tournament.
Jesus, 25, has been key to Mikel Arteta's side since his summer arrival from Manchester City with goals and his all-round goal instrumental to the Gunners' style of play. His form has coincided with Arsenal's rise to the top of the Premier League and earned him a place in Brazil's World Cup squad.
However, Tottenham's Richarlison has been preferred by Tite and Jesus was only handed his first start in the final group game after booking their place in the round of 16. However, a needless challenge has resulted in Arteta being without his number nine for the foreseeable future ahead of their intense Premier League title charge alongside Manchester City.
