Gabriel Jesus’ knee injury is “not looking good”, Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta says. The Brazil striker was taken off after 40 minutes in Arsenal’s FA Cup loss to Manchester United on Sunday.

Arsenal's Brazilian forward Gabriel Jesus is set for a lengthy spell on the sidelines after suffering what is suspected to be an anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injury, according to British media reports on Tuesday.

Granted, the clash with Arsenal was also a high-profile game and so, as Bruno Fernandes suggested after the draw with Liverpool, the real litmus test will come at home to bottom side Southampton. But United's ability to dig in and their refusal to collapse after conceding an equaliser when down to ten men cannot be ignored.
