In a bittersweet victory for Arsenal, Gabriel Jesus played a pivotal role in their 2-1 win against Sevilla in the Champions League but was forced off the pitch due to a hamstring injury, reported by GOAL. The Brazilian striker, who orchestrated Arsenal's triumph in Spain, assisted Gabriel Martinelli's goal and then scored a stunning curling shot to double their lead early in the second half.

However, Arsenal's joy was dampened as Jesus had to leave the game in the 81st minute due to the hamstring problem. He was replaced by Eddie Nketiah, and his injury raises concerns for manager Mikel Arteta, especially with the absence of key players like Thomas Partey and Jurrien Timber.

Arteta expressed his worry about Jesus's injury, stating, “He felt something in his hamstring. We have to wait and see. He straight away asked to be subbed, which is not good news because he's not a player that does that at all.” Despite the injury setback, Arteta acknowledged Jesus's significant contribution, praising his ability to create magic moments in crucial games.

Speaking about his injury, Jesus remained optimistic, saying, “I felt something. Let’s see… I have a scan, but I’m pretty sure it will be nothing. I did some tests with the physio, it looks not that big, but let’s see.”
