Gabriel Jesus suffered a torn ACL in Sunday\'s loss in the FA Cup by Arsenal to Manchester United. Jesus will undergo surgery to repair the tear. Jesus suffered the injury after colliding with Bruno Fernandes.
A statement from the club on Tuesday read: “Further to being substituted with an injury during our match with Manchester United on Sunday, Gabriel Jesus has received extensive assessments, scans and specialist reviews which have confirmed that he has sustained an injury to the anterior cruciate ligament in his left knee.
“Gabby will undergo surgery in the coming days and will soon begin his recovery and rehabilitation programme.
“We will continue to keep everyone updated with Gabby’s recovery, with everyone at the club fully focused on supporting Gabby to ensure he is back to full fitness as soon as possible.”
Jesus had scored six goals in six games heading into Sunday’s match and has made 27 appearances in all competitions for Arsenal this season.
Arsenal already are playing without Bukayo Saka and Ethan Nwaneri, meaning the loss of Jesus will further diminish their attacking options.
