Arsenal midfielder Xhaka admits Gabriel Jesus out '2-3 months'

Arsenal midfielder Granit Xhaka says he's spoken to teammate Gabriel Jesus since he suffered his knee injury.

Xhaka has r offered his full support to him during his recovery.

Xhaka said: "I spoke with him [Jesus] straight after the Cameroon game [where he went off injured].

We have contact with each other, with all the players we have here in the World Cup.

"It's a shame because you saw in the first round of the Premier League how important he is for us. I don't know how big the injury is, maybe two or three months, I think.

"But he is a strong guy. He knows that we are behind him and hopefully we can get him back as quick as possible."
