Arsenal striker Gabriel Jesus left the FA Cup third round tie against Manchester United on a stretcher after being injured.
The Brazilian covered his face with his shirt as he was carried off in the first-half with the game goalless, following an innocuous coming together with United captain Bruno Fernandes.
Jesus clipped Fernandes just outside Arsenal’s 18-yard box, causing Fernandes’ boot to come loose.
The United midfielder then twice threw his boot to the ground in frustration at referee Andrew Madley deciding against rewarding a free kick, earning him a booking for dissent. However, while Fernandes fumed, Jesus stayed down and required a stretcher.
Jesus is the latest injury to one of Arsenal’s starters, with Bukayo Saka ruled out until March after he required surgery on a hamstring injury.Arsenal are also without Ethan Nwaneri (muscle injury), Takehiro Tomiyasu (knee) and Ben White (knee).
Arsenal striker Gabriel Jesus was stretchered off during the first half of the FA Cup third-round match against Manchester United after sustaining an injury.
The Brazilian forward, visibly distressed, covered his face as he was carried off with the game still goalless. The injury occurred following a seemingly harmless clash with United captain Bruno Fernandes near Arsenal’s 18-yard box.
Jesus clipped Fernandes, causing the midfielder’s boot to come loose. Frustrated by referee Andrew Madley’s decision not to award a free kick, Fernandes threw his boot to the ground twice, earning a yellow card for dissent.

This adds to Arsenal’s growing injury concerns, with Bukayo Saka sidelined until March after undergoing hamstring surgery. The Gunners are also without Ethan Nwaneri (muscle injury), Takehiro Tomiyasu (knee), and Ben White (knee).
