Arsenal fans have backed Ghana prospect Eddie Nketiah to step in and replace Gabriel Jesus who picked up an injury while representing Brazil at the 2022 Fifa World Cup finals.
The Gunners and the Samba Boys suffered a setback after the 25-year-old Jesus was ruled out of the global tournament in Qatar after he experienced pain in his right knee during Brazil’s 1-0 defeat against Cameroon in a Group G final fixture on Friday.
Reports now indicate the former Manchester City forward will miss Arsenal's key matches, starting with West Ham United at the Emirates on Boxing Day, Brighton & Hove Albion on New Year’s Eve, along with the home tie against Newcastle on January 3.
His injury has paved the way for Nketiah.
Arsenal supporters have taken to social media to discuss why Nketiah could step in for Jesus successfully.
