Why is Gabriel Jesus NOT playing for Brazil at the World Cup 2022?

Published on December 03, 2022 at 06:02 PM

BRAZIL will be hoping they can put their 20-year drought behind them by lifting a World Cup in Qatar – but they’ll have to do it WITHOUT Gabriel Jesus.

The Samba side raced to last-16 qualification by beating Serbia and Switzerland in their opening fixtures.

Gabriel Jesus was hoping to help Brazil lift their first World Cup since 2002

But Brazil suffered a shocking final group game defeat to African giants Cameroon courtesy of a late Vincent Aboubakar header.

And after losing Neymar to an ankle issue, head coach Tite will have to continue without another key attacker in Jesus.

SunSport has the reason why...

Why is Gabriel Jesus NOT playing for Brazil?

Gabriel Jesus has been ruled out of the remainder of the World Cup with a knee injury he suffered during Brazil’s loss to Cameroon.

Gabriel Jesus was forced off with a knee injury

The Arsenal star collided with Indomitable Lions goalkeeper Devis Epassy and was forced to limp off shortly after.

Jesus could miss around one month, which immediately puts him in a race against time to be fit for Arsenal’s Boxing Day clash with West Ham.

And reports claim that he’s been playing through pain for his club, but not enough to stop him from going to the Qatar tournament.

Brazilian boss Tite has had his fair share of bad luck at the World Cup with injuries.

It is still unclear when Neymar will return and it is something the footballing superstar described as one of the ‘hardest moments’ of his career.

What games could Gabriel Jesus miss for Arsenal?

Arsenal fans will be hoping Gabriel Jesus is able to recover quickly from his knee injury.

Jesus could miss:

  • Arsenal vs West Ham – Monday, December 26 (8pm)
  • Brighton vs Arsenal – Saturday, December 31 (5:30pm)
  • Arsenal vs Newcastle – Tuesday, January 3 2023 (7:45pm)
