“Gabby will undergo surgery in the coming days and will soon begin her recovery and rehabilitation program.
“We will continue to keep everyone updated with Gabby’s recovery, with everyone at the club fully focused on supporting Gabby to ensure he returns to full fitness as soon as possible.”
Armory No time frame has been set for Jesus’ return, but such injuries typically require nine months of rehabilitation, meaning he will not return to action until late 2025.
Jesus’ injury could force Arsenal into the transfer market in January but would also deal a major blow to their reported plans to sell the Brazilian in the summer. Jesus is under contract with the club until 2027.
