Gabriel Jesus - Successfully undergoes surgery Jesus has successfully undergone surgery on a knee injury suffered while playing for Brazil at the World Cup, his club confirmed Tuesday.

Impact While the club didn't officially place a timetable on the return of Jesus, the expectation is that he is out for at least three months with a PCL injury. Fortunately this is among the more minor things that could happen to a knee without missing half a season, though Jesus is still out with his team top of the table and in good form before the World Cup. It now seems likely the Gunners will sign a new striker while Jesus is out, as only Eddie Nketiah has experience in Jesus's position this season. Richarlison, who has scored three goals in the World Cup, will continue as Brazil's top striker during the tournament.

Gabriel Jesus - Nearing surgery Jesus is set to undergo surgery on his right knee for MCL damage, according to Mike McGrath of The Telegraph.

Impact This doesn't change the expected timeline of a three-month absence for Jesus, though official confirmation from his club hasn't been shared yet. In his place, Richarlison should start as the top option for Brazil over the rest of the World Cup and Eddie Nketiah is the only forward for the Gunners with experience as a striker.

Gabriel Jesus - Expected to miss three months Jesus is expected to miss three months with a knee injury suffered in Friday's loss to Cameroon, according to Karine Alves of Sportv.

Impact Jesus has reportedly left the national team already to return to London for surgery so more should be known about his status in the coming weeks. It now seems like Arsenal may be in the market for a new striker as Jesus doesn't have an experienced backup behind him. Among the available options Eddie Nketiah has the most experience in that spot by scoring twice in six UEL appearances, of which two came as a central-forward. Back with the national team, Richarlison should remain the starting striker while Rodrygo is a strong alternative for the rest of their World Cup.

Gabriel Martinelli - Takes four shots versus Cameroon Martinelli had four shots (three on target), created two chances and sent in four crosses (one accurate) during Friday's 1-0 loss against Cameroon.

Impact Martinelli replaced Vinicius Junior (rest) in the starting XI and was by far Brazil's biggest threat during the entire match, generating a lot of offense from the left flank, putting more shots on target than any other player while also creating for teammates. Vinicius should be back for Monday's Round of 16 clash against South Korea, but Martinelli showed he's more than capable of providing extra firepower off the bench if needed.
