The forward of Arsenal Gabriel Jesus has suffered a series of injury setbacks since the 2022 World Cup and the Brazil international said he could not remember the last time he played without pain. The 27-year-old underwent knee surgery after suffering an injury in Qatar before suffering three further setbacks due to knee problems.
With Arsenal top of the Premier League and set to face Bayern Munich in the first leg of the Champions League quarter-finals this Tuesday, a fully fit Jesus could be a decisive factor in the final stages of the season. “Sometimes I feel it (in my knee), I don’t remember the last day I played soccer without pain,” Jesús told reporters on Monday. “Unfortunately, I have some problems and people don’t always see it. But mentally, I try to be strong.”
Jesus, who has scored eight goals in all competitions this season, said he is not worried about Arsenal signing a new striker at the end of the season. “They already know if they like it or not. This could be a question for them. My job is to train hard and improve what I have to do. Speculation will always be there,” he added. After hosting Bayern in the Champions League, Arsenal will host Aston Villa in the league on Sunday.
