Arteta reveals why Gabriel Jesus did not make Arsenal travelling squad for Bodo/Glimt clash

Speaking about Gabriel Jesus being excluded from the Arsenal squad for the game against Bodo/Glimt, Mikel Arteta said: “We thought that with everything he’s been through in the last few weeks it was better that he stayed at home.”

Arteta has just opted to give Jesus some well-deserved rest after featuring heavily in almost all of Arsenal’s games so far this season.

The Brazilian forward was kicked around constantly in the win over Liverpool and was the victim of some really crunching challenges that had a lasting effect on him.

While he isn’t injured, Jesus is being preserved for the important Premier League games ahead as Arteta wants his forward to be at his 100% at all times.
