‘I like him’: Ally McCoist claims £27m Arsenal player should replace Gabriel Jesus if he’s injured
Arsenal forward Leandro Trossard has b♉een backed to replace Gabriel Jesus after hꦆe limped off against Sevilla last night.
⛄Spea♔king on , Alan Brazil and Ally McCoist were discussing yesterday’s victory.
Mikel Arteta will be delighted to have gone to Sevilla and picked up🅷 three points.
If they hadn’t won last night, then all of a sudden, the pressure is ramped up for their last three🦂 group💯 games as they look to progress to the knockout stages.
Gabriel Martinelli opened the scoring, roundin🔯g the goalkeeper after making a perfectly-timed run.
His fellow countryman Gabriel Jesus set up the goal before getting on the score sheet himself with🔜 a fantastic finish.
However, the 26-year-old limp𒆙ed off 🐟holding his hamstring before the end of the match which will worry Mikel Arteta.
Jesus provided an update after the match on his fitness, but given the injuries he’s suffered since arriving ๊at the Emirates, Arteta may be cautious about playing him 🐎at the weekend.
Alan Brazil and Ally McCoist have suggested that Leandro Trossard should replace Jesus if he can’t feature for Arsenal at the weekend✃ against Sheff💙ield United.
The winger made a huge impact against Ch☂elsea at the weekend and did well off the bench last night.
His versatility ﷺis a huge asset to the Gunners and may be called upon once again at🌳 the weekend.
Trossard backed to start for Arsenal if Jesus is injured
Speaking about the potent🔯ial dilemma for Arteta in Arsenal’s attack, : “Don’t get me wrong, [Gabriel] J♋esus is a top player Ally [McCoist], but I like [Leandro] Trossard me.
“If ܫhe’s out for a few weeks, then Trossard, no problꦇem.”
Ally McCoist : “I like Trossard, I think he’s aꦿ good signing, I think they definitely fancy him.
“I do like Jesus, I really like him, but ༒I still think they’re lacking an out𝔍-and-out centre-forward, somebody that will get them 25 [goals], you know?”
If Arsenal do decide tಌo go with Trossard in place of Jesus, it wouldn’t be a good look for✅ Eddie Nketiah.
The 24-year-old is a more natural replacement for Jesus on paper but Trossard is in better form at the moment.
Arteta will be pleased to have d🍷ifferent options when it comes to replacing Jesus if he’s not fit to start against Sheffield United.
However, the ideal situation, particularly after yesterday’s performance, is that the Brazilian can lead the line at the wꦅeekend.
