The Gunners crashed out of the FA Cup on Sunday after losing to Manchester United on penalties after a 1-1 draw following extra-time at the Emirates Stadium.
Despite Diogo Dalot getting sent off around the hour mark of the third-round clash, Arsenal were unable to break down 10-man United, with Martin Odegaard missing a penalty in regular time.
It indicates that the London team’s prospects of taking home a trophy this year have decreased.
Liverpool leads the Premier League with a game in hand, while Arsenal is six points behind them.
Both youth sensation Ethan Nwaneri and important attacker Bukayo Saka are now injured, reports Liverpool World.
After being carted off the field in the 40th minute due to a knee injury, Jesus will now have to spend some time on the sidelines.
Jesus is unlikely to be available for Wednesday’s North London derby against Tottenham.
“I’m feeling very concerned,” Arteta stated at his press conference following the game.
In excruciating pain, he had to be removed on a stretcher, touching his knee.
It doesn’t appear promising. It’s the other one, not the knee he hurt during the 2022 World Cup, in my opinion.
