THE BIGGER PICTURE: The ex-Manchester City player will be out for up to a month, meaning he could miss four matches for Arsenal when the Premier League returns in late December.
WHAT NEXT FOR JESUS? The forward will be desperate to return to action as soon as possible. He will miss matches against West Ham, Brighton and Newcastle, but the Gunners will be hoping he is fit to feature against Tottenham on January 15.
