Mikel Arteta Confirms a Serious Injury to Gabriel Jesus
Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta confirmed on Tuesday during a press conference that Brazilian forward Gabriel Jesus has picked up an injury, the severity of which is still unclear, though he admitted, "it doesn’t look good."
"It doesn’t look good at all, but we need to consult with the specialist, and we’ll have more information this afternoon. I don’t want to confirm anything until we have the final analysis. We were very concerned after the match, and we still are," Arteta stated.
Possible ACL injury
The forward was forced off injured 40 minutes into the FA Cup clash, where Arsenal suffered a loss against Manchester United. Initial reports suggest Jesus might have suffered an ACL injury, but the final diagnosis will depend on the tests scheduled for today.
Big blow for the Gunners
Losing Gabriel Jesus is a major setback for the team, as the Brazilian has been in excellent form, scoring six goals in his last seven matches. His absence presents a significant challenge for the London side as they aim to stay competitive across all competitions.
