Gabriel Jesus has not traveled with the Arsenal squad for their Europa League tie against Bodo/Glimt.
The Brazilian was a doubt for the game after picking up a knock against Liverpool at the weekend.
Now it appears that Arsenal boss Mikel Arteta has taken the decision not to risk Jesus’ fitness for the mid-week clash against the Norwegian outfit.
“We thought that with everything he’s been through in the last few weeks it was better that he stayed at home,” Arteta told reporters during his pre-match press conference
“A few players that were injured,” Arteta added on other absences.
“You will find tomorrow. I can’t give you everything.”
