What Arsenal sources are now saying about Gabriel Jesus’ injury after missing Aston Villa win
Before Arsenal kicked a ball against Aston Villa on Saturday, the fan base was already rocked from news of another Gabriel Jesus injury.
Jesus has missed long periods of football during his first two seasons at Arsenal, often fueling talk that Mikel Arteta needs to rec෴ruit a new number 🔴nine.
Fortunately, Kai Havertz is doing a superb jꦗob of leading the line right now, but he can’t do it all on his own.
Eddie Nketiah is close to leaving Arsenal, but following news of Jesus’ injury, there was talk of that deal being delayed, at lea♚st until the club’s medical team fully assess the issue.
Jesus picked up a groin injury before Villa, meaning he didn’t t🌠ravel with the squad for their emphatic 2-0 win.
Of course, it would seem counterproductive if Arsenal decided not to sell Nketiah because of Jesus’ injury – t💟he club have worked very hard to find a buyer over the last🥀 few months.
And fortunately, via an update from , it seems as if Nketiah’s deal should s๊till be able to go ahead.
Gabriel Jesus’ injury isn’t serious and he should only miss ‘short period’ for Arsenal
Arteta shared on Saturday that Jesus would undergo an MRI scan to determine the severity of hi🀅s groin injury.
How🎃ever, the aforementioned report says that initial indications believe that﷽ the Brazilian’s issue isn’t serious.

Jesus is only expected to miss a ‘short period’ and could 🍒perhaps return following the upcoming international break.
Arsenal face Brighton & Hove Albion at the Emirates before then, a game Havertz can 🧸happily📖 lead the line for once again.
Of course, some may feel 🍒that it would still be a risk to let Nketiah leave this month and then fail to bring in a recruit before the window closes.
If Arsenal don’t sign a striker and Jesus then suffers a𝓡nother injury or his problem worsens, Arteta’s title push would already be in question.
Jesus returned in brilliant shape for Arཧsenal pre-season, but it doesn’t appear unfair to describe the striker as ‘injury ▨prone’ at thisജ stage.
Arsenal supporters would lo🎉ve nothing more than a fully fit Jesus contributing all season long, but it’s just a question of whether that will ever be a reality – it hasn’t been yet.
