Arsenal's Brazil striker Gabriel Jesus has undergone surgery for a right knee injury sustained while playing for the national team at the Qatar World Cup, the Premier League side announced on Tuesday.
Jesus was forced off during Brazil's 1-0 victory over Cameroon in their final Group G match. He was subsequently ruled out of the remainder of the tournament.
"Gabby will now begin his rehabilitation programme," Arsenal said, without giving details of when the 25-year-old may return.
"Everyone at the club is supporting Gabby and will be working hard to get him back on the pitch as soon as possible."
