Arsenal striker Gabriel Jesus missed training on Wednesday ahead of the Gunners’ Europa League group stage match against Bodo/Glimt.
Jesus required on-pitch treatment during Arsenal’s 3-2 win over Liverpool in the Premier League after Kostas Tsimikas’s elbow hit the Brazilian in the face.
He was finally able to continue playing before Eddie Nketiah replaced him towards the end, in the 90+1 minute of the match.
Speaking after the match, Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta had downplayed fears of a serious head injury for the striker.
