- Arteta provides update on Jesus and Odegaard's injuries
- Jesus ruled out of Sevilla
- Odegaard remains doubtful
WHAT HAPPENED? The Arsenal manager confirmed that Gabriel Jesus will continue to remain out of action and won't play a part in their upcoming Champions League fixture against Sevilla. Club captain Martin Odegaard's participation, on the other hand, remains uncertain.
WHAT THEY SAID: Speaking to reporters ahead of the Sevilla clash, Arteta said, "Gabby (Gabriel Jesus) won’t be fit, with Martin (Odegaard) it is still uncertain, the rest no news so far."
THE BIGGER PICTURE: The Brazilian striker picked up a hamstring injury in the reverse fixture against Sevilla last month and has not taken the field since then. The Sun later reported that Jesus is likely to miss at least three to four weeks of action before he regains full fitness.
The Norwegian missed two out of the club's last three matches after he had felt discomfort ahead of the Sheffield United clash on October 28.
