Arsenal have confirmed that Gabriel Jesus will undergo surgery on his left knee after suffering an anterior cruciate ligament injury.

Jesus, 27, was forced off on a stretcher in Sunday’s FA Cup third-round defeat to Manchester United at the Emirates Stadium.

The Brazilian has made 27 appearances in all แทงบอล UFABET ราคาดีที่สุด ไม่มีขั้นต่ำ competitions this season, scoring seven goals.

“Gabriel Jesus has undergone thorough assessments, scans and tests by specialists which have confirmed he has suffered an anterior cruciate ligament injury in his left knee,” Arsenal said in a statement.

“Gabby will undergo surgery in the next few days and will begin her rehabilitation program soon,”

Jesus, who joined Arsenal from Manchester City for £45m in July 2022, has scored six goals in his last seven appearances.

He is the latest Arsenal player to be rule out with an injury, along with Bukayo Saka, Ben White, Takehiro Tomiyasu, Ethan Vaneri and Riccardo Calafiori.

The Gunners are second in the Premier League, six points behind leaders Liverpool, having played a game more, and host Spurs on Wednesday.

The Gunners are back in Champions League action later this month and will look to reverse the 2-0 defeat at Newcastle when they travel to St James’ Park for the second leg of their Carabao Cup semi-final on February 5.

Jesus has scored three goals in the Premier League this season from an expected goals (xG) total of 3.0 in 17 top-flight appearances, though he has started just six games.

Overall, Jesus has netted seven times in all competitions this season, including a hat-trick against Crystal Palace in the EFL Cup.

The striker joins Bukayo Saka and Ethan Nwaneri on the sidelines, leaving the Gunners with Kai Havertz as their sole striker option.
