Gabriel Jesus has suffered a serious knee injury which could force Arsenal to change their transfer plans in what remains of the January transfer window. The Brazil international was carried off on a stretcher following a collision with Bruno Fernandes during Sunday’s FA Cup third round defeat.

After a drastic loss of form and confidence that spanned almost an entire calendar year, Jesus enjoyed a purple patch last month which saw him scored six goals in three games against Crystal Palace and Brentford. Mikel Arteta, however, is likely to be without the Brazil international for the rest of the season with further tests scheduled to take place on the on the 27-year-old’s knee on Tuesday.
Speaking ahead of tomorrow’s north London derby, Arteta said: ‘We know more now. It is not looking good at all. ‘We need to review one more specialist so probably we will have more information this afternoon. I don’t want to confirm anything until we have the final report this afternoon. We are very worried.’.
Arsenal were already short of attacking options, even before Jesus suffered his latest injury setback, with Bukayo Saka out following hamstring surgery and Ethan Nwaneri not likely to return until February. With his remaining forwards Kai Havertz, Leandro Trossard and Raheem Sterling struggling in front of goal, pressure is mounting on Arsenal to act before the window slams shut.
