[Saba Sports News] Recently, Arsenal officially announced the injury status of forward Gabriel Jesus, confirming he has suffered a torn anterior cruciate ligament in his left knee. Arsenal stated: “After extensive assessment, scans, and expert examinations, it has been confirmed that Jesus has a torn anterior cruciate ligament in his left knee. He will undergo surgery in the coming days and begin his recovery and rehabilitation plan.” Reports indicate that Jesus will miss the remainder of the season. During the FA Cup match at home against Manchester United, Jesus was injured in the 39th minute while defending against Bruno Fernandes and was carried off the field in tears. This marks the second major knee injury of Jesus’s career; he suffered a ligament injury in his right knee during the 2022 World Cup and underwent surgery, missing nearly four months. As a player known for his speed and agility, these successive knee injuries are undoubtedly a heavy blow for Jesus. The 27-year-old has appeared 27 times for Arsenal this season, contributing 7 goals and 2 assists. Currently, Jesus’s market value is €45 million, and his weekly salary at Arsenal is £265,000, with his contract expiring in June 2027.
