It could be that Arsenal face an even longer spell without the injured Gabriel Jesus than initially expected.
The Brazil international took a serious hit while in Qatar for the World Cup, and now it raises big questions for the Gunners ahead of the January transfer window.
Jesus has been a key player for Arsenal since joining Manchester City in the summer, helping them take a shock five-point lead at the top of the Premier League table.
Now, however, it could be that Jesus faces three months out of action, according to some sources cited below…
Gabriel Jesus three months out. He will have to undergo knee surgery. He will travel to London on Sunday at 15:00 to begin his recovery. Really bad news https://t.co/DuDDcDN29n

This despite Globo Esporte initially reporting that Jesús was estimated to be out for a month, which would have been bad enough for Mikel Arteta and co.
If Jesus really does end up missing three months of the season, surely it’s vital for Arsenal to sign a top attacking player this winter, or their title dreams will be over pretty quickly.
