It has been confirmed that Arsenal star Gabriel Jesus will miss the Emirates Cup match against AS Monaco tonight. The Brazilian forward is an essential member of the Arsenal first team and has been involved in their preparations for the new season.
The Emirates Cup is an annual friendly game where Arsenal competes against another team, and it has become a traditional fixture for the club. Monaco is the chosen opponent for this year’s edition, and the Gunners will be eager to secure a victory, especially as the match comes just days before their first competitive fixture.
However, a report from Metro Sport reveals that Gabriel Jesus will not be available for the match, as he has not been included in the squad to face the Ligue 1 side. The reasons for his absence have not been specified, but it will certainly be a disappointment for both the player and the club to miss his contributions in this preseason game.
Just Arsenal Opinion
Jesus has done well in pre-season, but the Emirates Cup is still just a friendly game to prepare us for the new campaign.
The club does not have to field its best players from the start, which means they will risk getting injured.
Jesus’ absence is good news for Eddie Nketiah and Folarin Balogun, as either of them could start the game if they are fit and in good shape.
However, Jesus should be back in the squad when the competitive matches come around because he is one of our most important players.

Arsenal: Ramsdale, Timber, Saliba, Kiwior, Tomiyasu, Partey, Rice, Smith Rowe, Martinelli, Vieira, Nketiah.
Subs: Turner, Hein, Tierney, White, Gabriel, Holding, Jorginho, Havertz, Odegaard, Marquinhos, Saka, Trossard.
I got 9/11 of the starting lineup right in my earlier prediction. Once again Tierney on the bench looking ominous for him but I think we will know for certain if the same happens again on Sunday and against N Forest at home.
Jesus is out with a knee injury.
If arsenal win to match it show can be premier league win up gonners
ESR, already shining!
Wish the best for the boys.COYG
We are getting ran through, schooled…Jus sayin.
These tactics make zero sense! Rice basically playing left back, looks so uncomfortable + can’t do anything in that position that we paid 105m for. Also Timber looks lost because Rice is in his position, just weird.
Begs the question why not play a top DM Rice in the DM position.
Sometimes Arteta tries to be too clever and over complicate things.
Sure it confuses opponents, but confuses the hell out of our players too.
Why can’t Tierney get a start? One of the best players in preseason to be honest, Shocked that he seems to be growing roots on the bench.
Arteta just needs to play with everyone in their natural position and stop with this experimenting stuff.
At this point if he doesn’t have his starting eleven and their positions figured out then we have a long season ahead of us 😁
Why we didn’t go in for Fofana, I don’t know…
It may no longer be appropriate to sell Balogun in view of the injury to Jesus.As to our set up against Monaco, I simply do not understand what our Manager is trying to prove?A simple game is becoming unnecessarily complicated and a number of our players seem to be as confused as me.Defensively ,this inverted rubbish is not working as we were all at sea on numerous occasions.Time to get back to a conventional back four before the real tests begin.
This is true grandad regarding the selling of Balogun. The problem is now Balogun knows that MA rates him as 3rd/4th best option and was fine to let him go but now all of a sudden is needed by MA.
I would fully understand if Balogun’s morale is very low now, after hoping to join a club that wants him to give him a proper chance at regular football to now staying and not being given the chance on merit but because of injury.
Jesus is out for a few weeks, just had an operation, I think we need a striker as this could become ongoing and Eddie in my opinion isn’t good enough
