SEVILLE, SPAIN - OCTOBER 24: Gabriel Jesus of Arsenal FC reacts during the UEFA Champions League match between Sevilla FC and Arsenal FC at Estadio Ramon Sanchez Pizjuan on October 24, 2023 in Seville, Spain.
Arsenal's injury worries have barely passes before their next set of potential absences have rolled around once again, with Gabriel Jesus the latest concern. The Brazilian striker was the difference maker in his side's clash with Sevilla on Tuesday night in the Champions League.
Two pieces of individual brilliance saw Jesus setup Gabriel Martinelli to score the opening goal in the dying embers of the first half. He then took things into his own hands just minutes after the break, beating several players before curling home the second goal of the night.
The Spanish side did launch a fight back, but the Gunners got through and added another three points to their Champions League group tally. It came at a cost though as Jesus would pick up an injury that enforced a substitution from Mikel Arteta during the second half.
It was later confirmed to be a slight hamstring concern that leaves many concerned over whether the forward will be fit for the upcoming clashes. With that said, here's a look at the latest on his injury and how it is developing.

Gabriel Jesus has now sent a new message to fans after winning player of the match in the tie with Sevilla on Tuesday night. Speaking on social media, he said: "Hello, Gooners! I'm here with the player of the match trophy, thank you for your support you helped us a lot.
"A nice, good and important win tonight against Sevilla. So, thank you and let's go!"
