Arsenal look set to be without Gabriel Jesus for today’s FA Cup third round clash against Liverpool at the Emirates.

The Brazilian has suffered a knee injury and is set to undergo a late fitness test to determine the extent of the problem.

Jesus could be set for a spell on the sidelines

Jesus rotated continuously, putting heavy pressure on his knees.

While the injury is not thought to be serious, Jesus has a history of knee problems and the Gunners are treating him with care.

In his post, MoArsenal86 account said that the problem is the way Jesus plants his foot and constantly twists and turns, it puts an incredible amount of stress on the knees. He should be a rotation piece at LW/RW to can maximize his career.

Jesus missed the opening weeks of the season after undergoing knee surgery to cure a minor problem and he’s been dogged with knee issues throughout his career.

While Mikel Arteta is desperate to win the FA Cup for a second time as manager, the Premier League is Arsenal’s priority.

Provided today’s game does not end in a draw and require a replay, Arsenal will have a two-week break before they take on Crystal Palace.

And the Daily Mail say Jesus is likely to miss today’s game as the Gunners work on getting him back to full fitness to face the Eagles.

Arsenal have struggled for goals this season, and Eddie Nketiah is likely to be given a starting berth in Jesus’ absence.

Other than Nketiah keeping his place over Jesus, you wouldn’t expect too many changes to Mikel Arteta’s favoured starting lineup in the Premier League.

The team have just had a week off after the Fulham game, and they’ll have a winter break following the Liverpool fixture.

Combine that with the fact the team are looking to end a run of defeats, and it’s likely the Gunners will go strong on Sunday afternoon.

Liverpool will be without Mohamed Salah following the winger’s departure for the Africa Cup of Nations with Egypt.
