Arsenal striker Gabriel Jesus in London; visiting knee specialist

Arsenal striker Gabriel Jesus has touched down in London.

The forward is now seeing a knee specialist after being forced to withdraw from Brazil's World Cup squad.

Jesus injured his knee during Brazil's 1-0 defeat to Cameroon last Friday and, after being assessed by national team staff over the weekend, was ruled out for the rest of the tournament.

The full extent of the injury is uncertain and as a result Jesus flew back to London from Qatar yesterday with his wife and child to see a specialist in London, says the London Evening Standard.

Jesus being out for an extended period of time would be a hammer blow for Arsenal and could force them to act in the transfer market.
