Jesus Injury Forces Arsenal To Consider January Transfers

Arsenal striker Gabriel Jesus is set to undergo surgery due to a serious knee injury, prompting Gunners manager Mikel Arteta to search for a replacement in the January transfer window.

Jesus was taken off on a stretcher during the first half of Sundays FA Cup third-round match against Manchester United, which the Gunners ultimately lost in a penalty shootout.

The 27-year-old met with specialists this week to evaluate the severity of the injury, which has been confirmed as an anterior cruciate ligament tear in his left knee.

Jesus may be out for the remainder of the season, posing a significant setback for Arsenal's ambitions of claiming their first Premier League title since 2004.

Gabby will have surgery in the next few days and will soon begin his recovery and rehabilitation program, Arsenal announced in a statement on Tuesday.
