The captain of Tottenham Hotspur has disclosed which Arsenal player to be on the lookout for in their next encounter—it’s not Bukayo Saka, Gabriel Martinelli, or Kai Havertz. Remembering his past performance against Spurs, he voiced concern about a certain Arsenal player who regularly poses a threat to their defense, even though important players like Declan Rice and Martin Ødegaard were out.
Gabriel Jesus, an attacker for Arsenal, may play this weekend against Tottenham, despite the belief held by many that he would be sidelined by injury. A return for Jesus has not been completely ruled out ahead of the North London Derby, according to Arsenal pundit Charles Watts.
Jesus had a brief cameo during the closing minutes of Arsenal’s season-opening match against Wolverhampton Wanderers, but a groin injury has kept him out of action ever since. At first, it looked like he wouldn’t be able to play in Sunday’s big game. But, there may be a ray of hope for Arsenal in a week beset by injury concerns because Jesus might make a comeback.
As he gets ready for the game, Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta has a lot on his plate due to an injury crisis that includes Mikel Merino’s freak accident during his first training session and Martin Ødegaard’s injury that has kept him out of the game. Worse, Arsenal’s squad was further weakened when Riccardo Calafiori sustained an odd injury while playing for Italy in the international arena.
Gabriel Jesus could provide some respite for the Gunners in spite of these losses. Although Watts doubted that Jesus would start for Spurs, he did share on his YouTube channel that the former Manchester City player might make an unexpected appearance. Nevertheless, after a week of injury setbacks for Arsenal, his possible return could be a welcome development.
