Arsenal forward Gabriel Jesus will have an operation on his left knee after sustaining an anterior cruciate ligament injury. Jesus, 27, was taken off on a stretcher during Sunday's FA Cup third round defeat by Manchester United at Emirates Stadium. The Brazilian has made 27 appearances across all competitions this season, scoring seven goals.

Arsenal have been hit by injuries to key players up front and there are growing concerns about Kai Havertz's suitability in the role.

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.
