Alan Shearer calls on Arsenal star to step up after 'big loss' of Bukayo Saka injury Former England striker Alan Shearer has called on Gabriel Jesus to help fill the gap left by Bukayo Saka's injury.
Brazil striker Gabriel Jesus scored his first league goals of the season at Selhurst Park, having bagged a hat-trick at home to Palace in a midweek League Cup win.
"He was having such a tough time in front of goal, but I think Mikel Arteta deserves a lot of credit because of what happened in midweek, he gets his goals and you can see the belief he would’ve had in training.
Mikel Arteta's side still ended up with a comfortable victory, but there's more concern when it comes to the England star's availability during a busy December and January.
"[They will miss] not only Saka’s goals but his assists which is why I think it is important for Jesus to step up and try to replace him.
