Arsenal news: Gabriel Jesus sends three-word message to fans after injury update | Football | Sport

“Obviously it was a serious injury, a bit longer than we expected it. He is going to try to do everything he can to make it shorter but we’re going to miss him for a while.”

Arteta went into more depth on the complexity of Jesus’ injury at his press conference on Friday. He said: “He’s progressing really well, he’s working really hard, he’s in the right place in terms of the time that we set for him, but he’s still a bit far.

“I’d like to see him very quickly but I don’t think it’s going to happen. We’re going to have to be patient with that one. But let’s see.

“It’s a complicated surgery, in any surgery there are always a lot of things where you have to be cautious. He’s a player that’s going to push to be really fast on the pitch.”
