Huge Arsenal injury blow ahead of Liverpool FA Cup clash as star struck down with old issue and big doubt for game
GABRIEL JESUS is a major doubt for Arsenal's FA Cup clash with Liverpool this afternoon due to a knee injury.
According to the Daily Mail, the severity of the issue is unclear but there is hope that it will not be a long-term problem.
Mikel Arteta's side face Liverpool in the FA Cup third round today.
The Gunners approach the match following successive defeats West Ham and Fulham respectively.
Thomas Partey, Jurrien Timber and Fabio Vieira all remain absent due to injury, while Mohamed Elneny and Takehiro Tomiyasu have been selected for international duty.
Oleksandr Zinchenko is also a doubt due to a calf problem.
Arteta did not mention Jesus' injury during his pre-match press conference on Friday, meaning the issue could have come to light during Saturday's training session.
The striker has a history of knee concerns, with some proving to be long-term problems.
He was sidelined for three months last season after suffering a knee injury during the World Cup.
Jesus also missed the start of this season due to a similar issue.
