After playing a heroic role to Arsenal’s 2-1 win against Sevilla, Gabriel Jesus faces injury concerns and now in contention for upcoming games. He limped off the pitch while holding his hamstring, saying that he felt something. “I felt something. Let’s see… I have a scan but I’m pretty sure it will be nothing. I did some tests with the physio, it looks not that big, but let’s see,” Jesus said. The Brazilian forward scored a jaw-dropping goal for Arsenal in their win in Spain on Tuesday evening but appeared to suffer a knock in the 80th minute.

He said, “He felt something in his hamstring so let’s see. “He straight away asked to be subbed which is not good news because he’s not a player that does that at all. We’ll have to wait and see in the next few days,” Arteta added. Jesus recently returned from a knee injury that kept him out of the opening two games of the Premier League season. Since his return, he has been a boost to the Gunners, scoring four goals and providing one assist in 11 games.

Born in Brasilia, the 18-year-old arrives at Stamford Bridge with a wealth of senior football under his belt; he made 129 first-team appearances for Santos across all competitions. Welcome to Chelsea, Angelo!” Angelo is now expected to join his new teammates on their pre-season tour of the United States, although he is likely to be sent out on loan for the 2023-24 campaign, with Strasbourg an option. The attacker became the youngest player in Brazilian top-flight history when he made his debut at the age of just 15 years and 308 days in 2020. Angelo has remained a regular fixture in the Santos first team since that debut, making 129 senior appearances for the club despite his age. Chelsea have committed large amounts of spending to the academy since Todd Boehly and Clearlake Capital arrived last summer.

Last summer, big moves were made for Cesare Casadei, Andrey Santos, Omari Hutchinson, and Carney Chukwuemeka. Whether or not Angelo stays with the first-team remains to be seen as Mauricio Pochettino works with the squad. The Argentine wants to take a close look at every player before making a decision on whether or not to sanction departures. Pochettino has a history of developing youngsters and the hope is that Angelo will be the latest success story. 
Chelsea’s inability to get a win in the match has left them languishing in 10th place, with 10 points adrift from the Premier League top four. Potter who spoke to reporters after the match, said they were forced to make changes after their 1-0 Champions League defeat to Borussia Dortmund. He said; “You have to see it for what it is. We had to make some changes because of the Champions League. “We’ve had to make some changes because of the situation we’re in and boys coming back from injury. When you make those changes, it can be difficult against a team that is well prepared.” 
Agbonlahor however accused Potter of only “complaining.” He told talkSPORT; “He should be sacked for that post-match interview. “What are you talking about? They haven’t got a manager, you’re playing a team in disarray who can’t get back-to-back wins together. “You’re complaining that you’ve had to bring Mykhailo Mudryk off the bench and start Joao Felix? Are you joking me? “Poor Graham! Poor you, Graham… Wow… I think as well… There is an English bias.” 😳 JO’H: “Graham Potter- is he winding me up?! This is Chelsea Football Club!” 👀 GA: “He should be sacked for that post-match interview!” O’Hara & Agbonlahor are left stunned after #CFC boss Graham Potter’s post-match interview with talkSPORT! 😱 pic.twitter.com/HAXiSdONIv — talkSPORT (@talkSPORT) February 18, 2023
