Arsenal supervisor, Mikel Arteta, has defined why he determined to depart Gabriel Jesus out of his Champions League squad.
Jesus has been excluded from the Gunners’ record of 25 gamers submitted to UEFA.
Arsenal’s A-list for the Champions League contains simply three forwards: Viktor Gyokeres, Bukayo Saka, and Gabriel Martinelli.
Arteta, chatting with reporters on Friday, stated the Brazilian striker continues to be recovering from a significant surgical procedure.
He stated: “He had a significant surgical procedure and it was going to take him many, many months.
So, after discussing that with the medical workers and understanding the schedule that we had and after we thought that he could possibly be out there.
“That it will be between December and January, we determined to make that decision.”
