According to The Daily Mail, Gabriel Jesus, the Brazilian footballer, is dealing with a knee problem, though the extent of the issue remains uncertain. The report suggests there’s optimism that this might not become a prolonged issue for the 26-year-old forward. However, his participation in the match against Jurgen Klopp’s leading Liverpool team at the Emirates Stadium is uncertain.

Arsenal, currently positioned fourth in the Premier League, have faced setbacks in their last two matches, missing the opportunity to claim the league’s top spot. Jesus, who has scored four league goals this season, holds significance for Mikel Arteta’s squad. His absence would be a setback. With seven goals and three assists in various competitions this season, the absence of the former Manchester City player could prompt Arsenal to consider seeking a new striker in the January transfer window if his absence is prolonged.

Gabriel Jesus has a history of knee problems. His recent absence at the beginning of this season was due to a similar issue. Furthermore, in the 2022/23 campaign, he underwent knee surgery, causing him to miss three months of play.

Following the FA Cup clash with Liverpool, Arsenal’s next Premier League game is scheduled for January 20 against Crystal Palace at home. Subsequently, they are set to play against Nottingham Forest away 10 days later. However, if they advance past Liverpool, they might find themselves engaged in FA Cup fourth-round action before the Nottingham Forest fixture.
