Fears that Gabriel Jesus might be out for a long time have led to him getting an MRI.

The striker for Arsenal, who is 27 years old, missed yesterday’s 2-0 win at Aston Villa because of a groin issue.

Jesus got hurt in practice two days before the trip to Villa Park. He had just played the last five minutes of last weekend’s game against Wolves.

And Mikel Arteta said he is worried over his No. 9, who scored four goals in 27 Premier League games last year.

For some reason, the Gunners manager said, “Unfortunately, he felt something in his groin at the end of training on Thursday.”

“We need to check him out. To find out, we need to get an MRI.

“But he couldn’t make it to the game.” We need to check to see if it’s a long-term damage.

“We should have the results by Sunday or Monday. Then we’ll know if it’s a matter of days or weeks.” “We don’t know.”

What happens next could depend on those results for Eddie Nketiah.

The striker is no longer needed at Arsenal, and a £30 million move to Nottingham Forest has been talked about.

That being said, Arteta might have to keep the Englishman if Jesus is hurt for a big part of the season.

This season, Arteta has put Kai Havertz in front of the goal in both games. He also said, “Right now, Eddie is our player.” He cares a lot about us.

“He’s here, and he wants to be here with us, no matter what the noise is.” He’s very pleased that we won.

Arsenal’s perfect start to the Premier League season continued as they beat Villa to earn all three points.

The goals from Leandro Trossard and Thomas Partey sealed the win.

But David Raya got a lot of praise for his amazing feats, except for Ollie Watkins.
