Nightmare blow for Arsenal as Gabriel Jesus is stretchered off clutching his knee in agony after tangle with Bruno Fernandes in FA Cup clash against Man Utd

Arsenal forward Jesus had to be stretchered off in the 40th minute of the Gunners' FA Cup clash against Manchester United after the Brazilian attempted to stop Bruno Fernandes on the edge of the box. A tangle of legs between Jesus and the United captain saw Jesus go down in agony and after medics tended to the 27-year-old's injured knee, it was clear that the Brazilian would not be able to continue.

Arsenal have been struggling with an injury crisis in attack after losing Bukayo Saka to a serious issue. The crisis has now been worsened as Jesus' injury also seems a severe one, as the Brazilian seemed to be in immense pain. Jesus has struggled with knee issues in the past and may be facing his own lengthy spell on the sidelines.

Just a few minutes earlier, Jesus was also spotted holding his knee after an aerial duel with Lisandro Martinez. The clash with Fernandes then appeared to serve as the final blow, with Arsenal's medical team needed to carry the 27-year-old off the pitch.

The Arsenal star will now undergo tests over the course of the next few hours so that the Gunners can determine his availability for the short and long-term. It's possible that Mikel Arteta may have to alter his plans for January depending on the severity of Jesus' injury.
