by Mikel Arteta confirmed in a press conference that Gabriel Jesús did not play in the FA Cup against Liverpool due to physical problems. The severity of the problem is not yet clear, although The technician confirmed that it is something in the knee. However, there is still hope that it is not a long-term injury.
“He had a little pain in his knee. We did a scan that shows something”, stated the Arsenal coach. “We hope it’s not something serious. It’s the same knee he had an injury on, so we couldn’t take any risks.”
In the absence of further tests to confirm the severity of the injury, it seems that Arsenal will not be able to count on their striker for at least a few games. Gabriel Jesus has had a season below expectations so far, scoring seven goals and giving three assists in 21 games in all competitions.
