“Further to being substituted with an injury during our match with Manchester United on Sunday, Gabriel Jesus has received extensive assessments, scans and specialist reviews which have confirmed that he has sustained an injury to the anterior cruciate ligament in his left knee. Gabby will undergo surgery in the coming days and will soon begin his recovery and rehabilitation programme. We will continue to keep everyone updated with Gabby’s recovery, with everyone at the club fully focused on supporting Gabby to ensure he is back to full fitness as soon as possible.”
Jesus was substituted in the first half of the match after a collision, and initial fears were confirmed following medical evaluations. The injury is a significant blow to Arsenal, as Jesus had been in excellent form, scoring six goals in his last seven appearances.
The club is now actively looking to bolster their attacking options in the January transfer window to compensate for Jesus’s absence. Manager Mikel Arteta expressed his concern and emphasized the need to strengthen the squad.
