Arsenal’s Gabriel Jesus was stretchered off during the FA Cup match, raising concerns for the team’s title hopes against Liverpool
Liverpool: Arsenal had a tough day on Sunday. Gabriel Jesus got hurt and had to be taken off on a stretcher during the FA Cup match against Manchester United.
This is a big blow for Arsenal, especially since they’ve been struggling with their center-forward position this season. Jesus has been their main striker lately, while Kai Havertz has been filling in as a false nine.
Jesus has been on fire, scoring six goals in his last five games. He’s played in 16 of the last 17 Premier League matches. But now, with this injury, it’s uncertain if he can keep that streak going.
Next week, Arsenal has tough matches against Tottenham and Aston Villa. They’re already six points behind Liverpool, who also have a game in hand. If Arsenal doesn’t perform well, their title chances could be over.
They’re also missing other key players like Takehiro Tomiyasu and Bukayo Saka due to injuries. Just when it seemed like the team was getting back on track, they face more setbacks.
Mikel Arteta mentioned how injuries have been a real issue for the team. He said they’re doing it for all the injured players and for their fans, as winning matches is their passion.
Despite being unbeaten in their last 10 Premier League games, Arsenal drew against Brighton last time out and missed a chance to capitalize on Liverpool’s slip against Manchester United.
