Arsenal striker, Gabriel Jesus, is set to miss the start of the Premier League season.
According to Gunners boss, Mikel Arteta, the player will be out for “a few weeks”.
The Brazil forward has undergone a “procedure” on his knee, Arteta said after Arsenal’s penalty shoot-out win over Monaco to secure the Emirates Cup on Wednesday.
“Unfortunately, he had a little procedure this morning,” Arteta said.
“He’s had some discomfort in his knee that caused him some issues so they had to go in. He’s going to be out for a few weeks.”
The Arsenal boss also revealed Jesus’ latest set-back was related to a previous knee injury suffered during last winter’s World Cup, which forced him to miss most of the second half of the season.
The 26-year-old started Arsenal’s previous pre-season friendly, a 5-3 win over Barcelona on Thursday in the US, and played 79 minutes before being singled out for praise by Arteta after the game.
