Arteta provides injury update on UCL hero Jesus

Gabriel Jesus was the hero in Arsenal's Champions League triumph over Sevilla, as he was involved in both of the Gunner's goals in the 2-1 win. 

However, he was substituted in the 81st minute of the game for Eddie Nketiah for what looked like an injury. 

The Arsenal boss was unavoidably asked after the game about the condition of the Brazilian striker and he explained that Jesus was feeling discomfort. 

Arteta revealed that the striker felt an uneasiness in his hamstring and, hence, asked to be taken off. He further stated that tests would have to be taken to ascertain the seriousness of the injury.

"He felt something in his hamstring so let's see. He straight away asked to be subbed, which is not good news because he's not a player that does that at all so we'll have to wait and see in the next few days,” Arteta said, per the BBC.

Meanwhile, Arsenal boss Mikel Arteta defended David Raya amid recent criticisms over his error-ridden performances since replacing Aaron Ramsdale as the club’s first-choice goalkeeper.

The Spain international is currently on loan at Arsenal from Brentford, and his compatriot has preferred him to English shot-stopper Ramsdale, who has held the position since signing from Sheffield United in 2021.
