Mikel Arteta confirms 'big worry' over Gabriel Jesus knee injury

Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta expressed significant concern after Gabriel Jesus was stretchered off during the FA Cup tie against Manchester United.

The forward, who had been in good form, was injured following a collision with Bruno Fernandes and an awkward fall, causing him considerable pain. Arteta revealed his worry, noting that Jesus appeared to have injured his knee again, though it seemed to be the opposite knee from his previous World Cup injury.

With Bukayo Saka and Ethan Nwaneri also sidelined, calls for Arsenal to sign a new forward in January have intensified. Despite the injuries, Arteta emphasized his trust in the remaining players, stressing that recruitment decisions are beyond his control.
