[Physio Scout] Gabriel Jesus had to be stretchered off in Arsenal's clash vs. Man United with a knee injury. Collapse of the knee, pivoting and a tibia bone shift were seen, which usually points towards an ACL injury (+/- meniscus).
[Sam Dean] Arteta: "Incredible how we don't win that game. We didn't get what we deserved but there is an element about putting the ball in the back of the net." #AFC
[James Benge] Arteta says Jesus is a "big worry. That's my feeling. He had to come off on a stretcher with a lot of pain, touching his knee. It's not looking good." He says he thinks it's the other knee to the one that he injured at the World Cup.
[James Benge] Martin Odegaard created 10 chances today and ended the match with two expected assists. As far as I can tell, he's the first Premier League player to hit double figures for chances created in a game this season.
