 said: “I don’t know how big the injury is, maybe two or three months, I think, but he is a strong guy.

“It’s a small injury for him I think & we will support him. He knows that we are behind him & hopefully we can get him back as quick as possible.

“We have the option with Eddie [Nketiah]. He showed great games in the past. We need to support Eddie, he will be a big, big part of the next two or three months, but I am looking forward to it because we have the quality to bring Eddie there.”

Xhaka seems to be confident about Nketiah’s ability to be an able replacement for Jesus in the centre-forward role, even though some Gooners don’t appear to be that ecstatic about seeing that.

NO easy way out. 

NO easy way to win EPL.

Recalling Balogun in January, is not a good idea. 

That will just mean halting his progress. 

Buy a new proven striker. 

We must pay the price if we have to keep our top spot.. 

Every team is coming up to fight against Arsenal, we have to be prepared.

Being at the top comes with a price we must be ready to pay if we are truly a serious team…. Calling Folarin back is bad for his development and neither good enough for the club’s ambition if any🤷🏼
Edu should enter the market and fork out an excellent gem

‘Toba

Bringing back Folarin shouldn't be an option at all.
Arsenal must buy a very good striker before we can stand a chance of winning the league title.
