‘I’ve made it very clear’ – Gabriel Jesus sends Arsenal message to Mikel Arteta
Gabriel Jesus has started only five games this season, with two of those coming in the League Cup, and the Arsenal striker has now sent a message to his boss
Gabriel Jesus has admitted his frustration at the limited game time he has been afforded by Mikel Arteta this season and has suggested other teammates feel the same.
The striker has started just one Premier League match so far, playing just 39 minutes in the competition in the past month. He has featured for the entirety of both League Cup wins and began two Champions League ties but was benched for Wednesday’s visit to Inter Milan.
He came during half-time at the San Siro but could not prevent Arsenal recording a second successive defeat. The Gunners have failed to score in half of their past six matches.
Jesus’ only goal and assist of the season so far came against Preston North End in last week’s 3-0 League Cup win. The 27-year-old has recorded 480 minutes across all competitions this term – equivalent to five full games and 30 minutes – with Arsenal playing 16 matches in total.
