Gabriel Jesus will be assessed in the coming days to determine the extent of a hamstring injury picked up during Arsenal\u2019s 2-1 win at Sevilla, as Mikel Arteta admitted the forward\u2019s second-half substitution was \u201cnot good news\u201d.<\/p>\n
Jesus scored a spectacular goal and set up Gabriel Martinelli\u2019s opener in the victory in Spain, which saw the Gunners take control of their Champions League group.<\/p>\n
But the Brazilian\u2019s fitness is now a major concern ahead of a key run of games in Arsenal\u2019s season.<\/p>\n
The Gunners host Sheffield United on Saturday before they face trips to West Ham in the Carabao Cup and Newcastle in the Premier League next week.<\/p>\n
Jesus was substituted in the second half of the Champions League win, having been holding his hamstring moments before the board was held up showing his number.<\/p>\n
Speaking after the game to TNT Sports, Arteta admitted the injury had prompted the substitution, saying it was \u201cworrying\u201d and that Jesus would be assessed in the next few days to discover the extent of the injury.<\/p>\n
“He felt something in his hamstring so let\u2019s see,\u201d Arteta said. \u201cHe straight away asked to be subbed which is not good news because he\u2019s not a player that does that at all so we\u2019ll have to wait and see in the next few days.\u201d<\/p>\n
Arsenal\u2019s victory put them top of Group B on six points, with Lens now in second on five points after their 1-1 draw with PSV Eindhoven.<\/p>\n
