The 25-year-old his expected to miss out on three months of action with the injury more serious than initially thought. Jesus absence will be a major blow for Arsenal and Mikel Arteta as the Brazilian has been crucial to the clubs flying form in the league.

Brazil’s coach Tite rubbished claims that Jesus was carrying a knee injury prior to joining the camp and he knew there was a risk in fielding Jesus.

“I don’t like hearing lies, said with bad intent,” he said. “We never put a player at risk. The liars, the haters, can go and do something else and stop giving fake news.”

“Arsenal have a great medical department, we have a great medical department and we are responsible and ethical. I didn’t want this to happen and we’re very sorry for him.”

Arsenal will have to contemplate on whether to sign a striker in January to fill the void left by Jesus, the Gunners will be aiming to put up a title challenge with Manchester City once the league resumes.
