There's some good news on the horizon for Arsenal fans. According to reports, Mikel Arteta has received positive updates about Gabriel Jesus' injury. The striker was unable to play in last weekend's game against Aston Villa, but it seems like he won't be out of commission for too long.
As Arsenal secured their second win of the season with goals from Leandro Trossard and Thomas Partey, Jesus watched from the sidelines. This was a bit of a disappointment for the Brazilian, who had come off the bench in the season opener against Wolves. Unfortunately, he picked up a groin injury during training and was unable to play against Villa.
When asked about Jesus' condition after the game, Arteta revealed that he felt something in his groin towards the end of training and they would need to assess the situation. An MRI scan would be necessary to determine the extent of the injury, and the results were expected to be available on Sunday or Monday.
While the club is still waiting for the full results, early reports suggest that the injury may not be as serious as initially thought. This is certainly a relief for Arsenal, who will be facing Brighton at home in their next game on Saturday.
The absence of Jesus leaves Arsenal with only two recognised strikers, Kai Havertz and Eddie Nketiah. However, Nketiah's future at the club is uncertain, with Crystal Palace reportedly showing interest in signing him after his move to Nottingham Forest fell through.
After the game on Saturday, Arteta hinted that the club may look to make a move in the transfer market for a striker if Jesus' injury turns out to be long-term. He acknowledged that they were a bit short on options without Jesus, but also expressed his confidence in the players they currently have.
Arsenal have been linked with two potential signings, Sporting Lisbon's Viktor Gyokeres and Napoli's Victor Osimhen, who is expected to leave Italy this summer. It remains to be seen if the club will make a move for either of these players, but one thing is for sure, Arsenal fans will be eagerly awaiting the MRI results in hopes that Jesus' injury is not too serious.
