Arsenal striker Gabriel Jesus has missed training ahead of his side’s Europa League clash with Bodo/Glimt on Thursday night.

It comes after he picked up a head injury against Liverpool on Sunday and had to be treated on the pitch, following a collision with Kostas Tsimikas’ elbow.

The Brazil international did not suffer a concussion and was able to continue briefly, but was later replaced by Eddie Nketiah in the Gunners’ 3-2 win.

When asked about the injury after the game, Arsenal boss Mikel Arteta said: ‘I don’t know, I haven’t been with the doctor yet, I’m sure they are checking him, he seemed OK after the game.

‘I don’t know actually what happened but we’ll assess how well he is.’

Reports in Sky Sports suggested the striker is just being rested with one eye on Arsenal’s trip to Leeds on Sunday, but the injury may still be an issue.

If Jesus is out for any length of time, it will be a blow to the North London side after the impact he has had since joining over the summer. The 25-year-old has picked up eight goal contributions in nine Premier League games, and been widely praised for the mentality he has brought to the Emirates.

Arteta’s men are flying at the moment and sit top of the league after nine games.

They’re also enjoying a solid European campaign, and beat Bodo/Gilmt 3-0 at the Emirates last week.

They may face a sterner test on Thursday in Bodo’s native Norway, but will still be firm favourites.

Touching on his side’s current form, the Arsenal boss said: ‘At the moment, [we need to] enjoy where we are and again have even more determination to believe that we can play at that level, only when we go at that rhythm and play with courage that we played the second half and go step by step.’
