Why Gabriel Jesus was absent from Arsenal training ahead of Bodo/Glimt and Leeds clashes

Gabriel Jesus was rested on Wednesday morning and missed Arsenal training as a result, football.london understands.

The striker looked to be in some discomfort during the Gunners' 3-2 home win over Liverpool on Sunday after Kostas Tsimikas caught the Brazilian with a flailing arm in the second half. Though he continued for a while after, he was eventually brought off.

Arsenal fans feared that there may be further issues when news emerged that he was absent from training, but football.london have since learned that he was simply being rested and there are no further injury concerns. Whether that means he will continue to be rested for Arsenal's game against Bodo/Glimt on Thursday is unknown, but he is expected to be back in training ahead of this weekend's Premier League clash with Leeds United.
