Mikel Arteta reveals key Arsenal star is carrying an injury ahead of Liverpool showdown.
Gabriel Jesus, according to Mikel Arteta, overcame a discomfort barrier to participate in Arsenal’s spirited victory over N
ottingham Forest last night.The City Ground has not been a favorable environment for Arsenal in recent times. However, on Tuesday evening, two goals in the second half helped the Premier League title contenders put an early specter to rest with a 2-1 victory.
Jesus, having missed the post when it appeared easier to score early in the second half, made amends for that mistake by breaking the deadlock in the 65th minute with a narrow prod of the ball between Matt Turner’s legs.Seven minutes later, the Brazil international switched positions as a provider, leading a lightning-fast counterattack that culminated in Bukayo Saka’s precise low shot from his weaker right foot that beat his former teammate.Late in the game, Taiwo Awoniyi’s shaky goal that ruined Arsenal’s clean sheet generated a few anxious moments, but in the end, the visitors secured three points, which increases the strain on Liverpool in advance of tonight’s match against Chelsea.
Sunday at the Emirates is a tantalizing top-of-the-table matchup between Jurgen Klopp’s in-form squad and Arsenal, and Arteta is frantic to have his No. 9 available for a critical evaluation of his squad’s credentials.
The former Manchester City star underwent knee surgery earlier this season, and earlier this week, when he suffered a “major hit” in training, he caused widespread concern among the first team.
“Gabi began to take control of the match two days ago,” Arteta stated at the press conference following the match. “Most people were advising him not to go outside due to a knee problem he was experiencing.”
However, he stated, “Following (matchday) -2 and (matchday) -1, I want to be there to help the team win the game.” Good things will occur when one possesses such a mindset. I am extremely satisfied with him.’
When asked whether the injury was a cause for concern, he responded, “I have no idea.” He was severely struck in the previous encounter. His knee, which was previously the subject of surgery, exhibited a reaction.He was extremely upbeat, in excellent health, and performed exceptionally well in training. Not surprisingly, he performed as he did tonight.
During the first half, Arsenal were so dominant that their control bordered on absolute, but they failed to convert possession into opportunities to score; this is an error they will need to rectify against Liverpool.
When asked whether his team had attempted to score the ideal goal, Arteta responded, “We have missed the post twice, Gabi has missed two headers, Emile has missed another, Martin has missed two opportunities with no shot, and Bukayo has missed two or three once more.”
The bouncing ball and the unsightly goal are both possibilities. These decisions are their responsibility. “I am at a loss as to how to instruct them to kick the ball there and then receive a rebound that goes in.”
