Arsenal forward Gabriel Jesus is set to undergo surgery on his left knee after suffering an anterior cruciate ligament injury during a recent FA Cup match against Manchester United. The incident, which saw the 27-year-old leave the field on a stretcher, has raised concerns for both Jesus and the Gunners, who are already grappling with a growing injury list.

Jesus has been a key player for Arsenal this season, making 27 appearances and contributing seven goals across all competitions. His injury marks a significant blow for the team as they currently sit second in the Premier League, just six points behind leaders Liverpool. Arsenal is also preparing for a crucial clash against north London rivals Tottenham and a challenging Champions League return later this month.

Arsenal's injury woes extend beyond Jesus, with several other players, including Bukayo Saka and Ben White, also sidelined. The club's depth will be tested as they navigate the remainder of the season, aiming to maintain their title challenge and progress in the Champions League despite the setbacks. Jesus is expected to begin his recovery and rehabilitation program following surgery, with the club hopeful for his return later in the season.
