Arsenal striker Gabriel Jesus has had surgery on his ACL injury.

The 27-year-old is set to miss the rest of the season after he was injured during the FA Cup defeat by Manchester United 10 days ago.

In a post by his partner that he shared to his Instagram story, Jesus is pictured in a hospital bed. Alongside the image, the Portuguese word for surgery, "cirgurgia", is written followed by a tick.

The forward has also posted on his own Instagram feed a picture of himself with crutches, with the caption: "There will always be answers to everything, which we will only know later on. I believe and trust in God."

The Gunners confirmed the extent of Jesus' injury in a statement last week.

The Brazil international has scored seven goals in 27 appearances for Arsenal this season.
