Arsenal injury news: Gabriel Jesus out with suspected ACL tear

Arsenal’s Brazilian forward Gabriel Jesus is set for a lengthy spell on the sidelines after suffering what is suspected to be an anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injury, according to British media reports on Tuesday.

Jesus, 27, left the pitch on a stretcher before the end of the first half in Arsenal’s FA Cup tie with Manchester United on Sunday, which Mikel Arteta’s side lost on penalties.

“We know more now. It is not looking good at all. We need to review with one more specialist and will have better information this afternoon,” Arteta told a press conference ahead of Arsenal’s Premier League game with Tottenham Hotspur.

“I don’t want to confirm anything until we have the final report this afternoon. We were very worried after the game and we are very worried today.”
