Just when Gabriel Jesus was rediscovering his form for Arsenal, the Brazilian suffered a knee injury that will keep him sidelined for the foreseeable future.

Arsenal’s players showed their support for the injured Gabriel Jesus before Wednesday night’s north London derby clash against Tottenham. Brazilian striker Jesus was stretchered off during Sunday’s FA Cup third round home defeat by Manchester United with a knee issue and is now set to undergo surgery on what turned out to be an anterior cruciate ligament injury.
