Brazil’s forward Gabriel Jesus fights for the ball with Cameroon’s midfielder Andre-Frank Zambo Anguissa during the Qatar 2022 World Cup Group G football match between Cameroon and Brazil at the Lusail Stadium in Lusail December 2, 2022. - AFPPIX: Arsenal boss Mikel Arteta has said the “significant injury” suffered by Gabriel Jesus will bolster the Gunners’ efforts in the January transfer window.
“I never gave a date. I said that we don’t know. It’s going to take some time for sure,” Arteta said of Jesus. Jesus has been a central figure in their Premier League progress since his arrival from Manchester City with five goals and six assists, even though he has not scored in his last 10 club games.“We’ll miss him for a period of time. The season has challenges, that’s a challenge we have to overcome, but if you’re going to be at the top there’s going to be those challenges.”
