Gabriel Jesus: How Long Is He Out?

Arsenal revealed on December 6 that the striker had surgery on his right knee and will immediately begin his recovery programme.

The club has not stated how long he will be out, but according to recent sources, Jesus might be gone for up to three months as he recovers from surgery.

That would be a big setback for Arsenal, who are in the middle of an unexpected charge for the Premier League title.

Gabriel Jesus Goals For Arsenal

Over the summer, Arsenal paid Premier League champions Manchester City £45 million to sign Jesus.

He has now scored five goals in 20 games, but he has developed as an important member of Mikel Arteta’s attack due to contributions other than his goal total.

The Brazilian has been instrumental in spearheading Arsenal’s press, and his seven assists attest to his efforts in establishing a platform for the likes of Bukayo Saka and Gabriel Martinelli to shine.

His title-winning experience has undoubtedly aided a young Arsenal squad in emerging as a surprise rival to his previous club City in the early months of the season.

He, like Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain, was renowned as a speed demon as a child. After the 2002 World Cup, he transitioned to full-fledged offensive.

In January 2014, after lengthy negotiations, Jesus signed an additional two- to three-year contract with Palmeiras, and in the fifth year, his salary quadrupled from 15,000 rupees.

His contract has increased the price to buy him tenfold to R$30 million. However, the deal changed the balance of their economic rights from 75–25% in favor of the agents in Palmeiras to 70–30%.
