Mikel Arteta confirms brutal Gabriel Jesus injury blow and Arsenal plan to replace him



 


 



Gabriel Jesus, a striker for Arsenal, was taken to the hospital after suffering an injury during the Gunners’ FA Cup match against Manchester United on Sunday. The Brazilian defender is now expected to be out for a considerable amount of time.



In the meanwhile, Mikel Arteta is’very anxious’ that Gabriel Jesus has sustained a major injury. He is waiting for the definitive results on the knee ligament damage that is thought to have occurred.

After being involved in a collision with Bruno Fernandes, the striker for Arsenal was taken to the hospital for treatment using a stretcher during the FA Cup match against Manchester United on Sunday. Furthermore, it is now anticipated that he has sustained a rupture of his anterior cruciate ligament, which would most certainly prevent him from participating in any further games for the remainder of the season.



The following is what Arteta had to say when asked about the injury: “We know more now, and it’s not looking good at all.” There is one more specialist that we need to evaluate, and we should have more information by this afternoon.


“I don’t want to confirm anything until we have a final doctor report, but we were very worried after the game and we are very worried now.”

A number of ailments were already being dealt with by Arteta, the most notable of which was to Bukayo Saka, who is currently out due to a ruptured hamstring of his own. In addition to the injuries sustained by attacking players, they will be without Ben White and Takehiro Tomiyasu for the North London Derby match against Tottenham. Riccardo Calafiori will also be subject to a late fitness test.

 

The injury sustained by Jesus only serves to amplify the mounting need for Arsenal to acquire further forward reinforcements before to the conclusion of the January transfer window.

“My answer does not change, my answer remains the same,” the individual said in response to a question about whether or not this may affect the transfer plans for this month. As part of our efforts to strengthen the team, we are actively searching the market. Ever since the very first day, we have been doing it. Without doing so, we would be acting in a foolish manner since it presents a chance for the team to develop and progress.

“Especially with the circumstances that we have we are looking and we are trying and let’s see what we are able to do.”

After a somewhat profitable summer window, the Gunners are in a position to spend this month; but, there are indicators that suggest they are happy to wait until the summer to make their purchases. Also, the manager of Arsenal did confess that his team will be subject to some constraints throughout the month of January, which they will be required to comply to.

In addition, he stated, “Just like every other club, we have our limitations, and as a result, we can only do what we are capable of doing.” We have the ability to plan our team and set boundaries for what we want to accomplish. Even if I have a lot of affection for our players, that does not mean that we cannot consider ways to improve. We are all looking for the same thing, and we will make the most of any chance to strengthen the team.

At this point, it is possible that a signing of the stop-gap variety, which may take the form of a loan or a low-cost permanent arrival, is on the horizon. Because Arsenal already has two players on loan from the Premier League—Raheem Sterling and Neto, the goalkeeper—they would need to terminate one of those loans or seek outside of the country in order to find a short-term solution to their pressing issues
