Tottenham Hotspur’s captain has revealed that one Arsenal player, not Bukayo Saka, Gabriel Martinelli, or Kai Havertz, is the one to watch out for in their upcoming match. Despite key players like Declan Rice and Martin Ødegaard being unavailable, he expressed concern about a certain Arsenal player who consistently poses a threat to their defense, recalling his previous performance against Spurs.
Arsenal striker Gabriel Jesus could be in contention to feature against Tottenham this weekend, even though many had thought he would miss out due to injury. Arsenal pundit Charles Watts has suggested that a return for Jesus has not been entirely ruled out ahead of the North London Derby.
Jesus made a brief appearance during the final minutes of Arsenal’s season opener against Wolverhampton Wanderers, but he has been sidelined since then with a groin injury. Initially, it seemed this injury would keep him out of Sunday’s crucial clash. However, in a week filled with injury concerns for Arsenal, there may be a glimmer of hope, as Jesus could potentially return to action.
Amid an injury crisis, with Martin Ødegaard sidelined after an injury sustained while playing for Norway, and Mikel Merino suffering a freak accident during his first training session, Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta has been left with plenty to consider as he prepares for the match. To add to the concerns, Riccardo Calafiori also picked up an unusual injury while on international duty with Italy, further depleting Arsenal’s squad.
Despite these setbacks, Gabriel Jesus might offer some relief for the Gunners. Watts shared on his YouTube channel that the former Manchester City star could make a surprise appearance against Spurs, although he expressed doubt that Jesus would be in the starting lineup. Nonetheless, his potential return could be a positive development for Arsenal in a week of injury woes.
