Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta has explained the injury situation of Gabriel Jesus.

The Brazilian forward recently gave an interview where he explained his situation.

Jesus indicated that he was playing through the pain barrier at times this season.

On the matter, Arteta told a news conference: “In elite sport to play without pain, I think it is very difficult.

“When you play every three days especially, and the level that we play, if you ask any player they will say that: 'Yeah, sometimes there is pain and you have to deal with that'.

“That is what makes you as well and Gabi has this toughness and this character that he always wants to overcome [it]. He has overcome some difficulties in terms of injuries and he is ready again."
