The knee injury to Arsenal star Gabriel Jesus looks set to significantly impact Mikel Arteta's side with the summer arrival, who is key to the Gunners attacking play, absent until February at the earliest. Jesus has featured in all 14 of Arsenal's Premier League games this season scoring five goals and notching six assists.
Following his withdrawal in Brazil's World Cup group game with Cameroon it was confirmed that Jesus was to undergo surgery to repair the damage to his right knee. Arsenal confirmed that Jesus underwent successful surgery on December 6, with the 25-year-old posting numerous updates regarding his condition on social media.
Mikel Arteta and Edu could turn to the January transfer window in search of a direct Jesus replacement with Marcus Thuram, Cody Gakpo and Dusan Vlahovic all linked as potential January acquisitions.
