Jesus injury is a 'big worry' - Arteta
Mikel Arteta says the knee injury picked up by striker Gabriel Jesus is a 'big worry' after he was stretchered off in the FA Cup defeat to Manchester United.
Jesus picked up in injury when he challenged Bruno Fernandes at the edge of Arsenal penalty area in the first half.
The Brazilian was then stretchered off and immediately after the game his manager Mikel Arteta is not positive about any assessment.
"Big worry, that's my feeling." Arteta said.
"He had to come off on a stretcher with a lot of pain, touching his knee. It's not looking good.:
"The worrying factor is the feeling that he had. When he had to come off and the pain that he was in."
It is a blow for Arsenal and Arteta as Jesus had just come back into form.
The 27-year-old had scored six goals in his last seven games and had given Arteta another option in Saka's absence.
As well as key man Saka being out, Arsenal are without Ben White, Takehiro Tomiyasu and Riccardo Calafiori were all unavailable through injury.
