Arsenal's hero Gabriel Jesus set for scan to access latest injury setback

Arsenal forward, Gabriel Jesus is set for a scan after he suffered an injury scare during their UEFA Champions League, UCL, clash against Sevilla. 

Jesus was one of the stars as Arsenal picked up three points on the road after a hard-earned 2-1 win in Seville on Tuesday night. 

The Brazilian forward scored what turned out to be the decisive winner as the Gunners held on a late scare from Sevilla to return to the top of their group with a win. 

However, despite his match-winning display, cabbed with an excellent goal, the former Manchester City man was unable to finish the game. 

Jesus was taken off in the 81st minute after he was spotted limping following a challenge by Sevilla’s Boubakary Soumare.

Per Pulse Sports report, an update from Arsenal’s manager, Mikel Arteta, confirmed that the 26-year-old was taken off as he felt something.

“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,” Arteta said. 

According to a report from Daily Mail, Jesus is now expected to undergo a scan in the coming days.

The player, who confirmed he felt something in his hamstring, is, however, confident that there is no cause for concern. 

“I felt something. Let's see. I did some tests with the physio, it looks not that big, but let's see. I have a scan, maybe tomorrow. I'm pretty sure it will be nothing,” Jesus stated. 

Jesus has now scored more goals (three) in the Champions League than he has in the Premier League (one) despite making twice the appearances.
