Bukayo Saka reveals he messaged Arsenal teammate Gabriel Jesus after finding out Brazil star will miss rest of World Cup and set for lengthy absence with knee injury


Bukayo Saka has sent his well wishes to Gabriel Jesus amid news that his injury could keep him sidelined for some time.

The Arsenal striker will miss the rest of Brazil’s World Cup in Qatar after sustaining a knee injury.

The 25-year-old has appeared in all of Brazil’s game so far in the tournament and started in their 1-0 loss to Cameroon.

However, he was substituted in the second half and soon complained of pain in his knee, with it soon being confirmed that he will be unable to feature throughout the rest of the tournament.

There are fears that he could miss up to three months with the injury and may need surgery.

Fellow Gunners star Saka has now revealed he has contacted the forward given the news, an expressed his concern over the injury.

“He’s a very, very, very important player for us [Arsenal] and it’s not good to hear the news,” he said to the media on Monday.

“Obviously I’ve messaged him and I think he’s going to see the doctor and see what he needs to do for the next steps.

“It’s definitely not good news when I heard that.”

Saka and Jesus have, individually, had very different World Cup campaigns thus far.

The latter failed to net in the tournament before his injury, whilst Saka added to his tally against Senegal on Sunday night.

He scored England’s third goal against the African Cup of Nations holders, with the Three Lions progressing to the quarter-finals.

France will be their opponents on Saturday night as Gareth Southgate’s side eye a spot in the semi-finals for the second tournament in a row.

FIRST DATES  James Maddison jokes Ally McCoist would be RIGHT to let Jude Bellingham date his daughters and keep his granny away from Jack Grealish – but Bukayo Saka would be best son-in-law out of England stars England star James Maddison has responded to Ally McCoist’s hilarious claim that he would let Jude Bellingham date his daughter,s but not let Jack Grealish near his granny. Rangers legend McCoist, who has five son, told talkSPORT on Monday that if he had five daughters instead, they could all go out with Bellingham. The 19-year-old midfielder has  caught the eye  with his maturity on and off the pitch while starring for the Three Lions at the 2022 World Cup. Grealish, on the other hand, is a self-confessed cheeky chappy and  recently admitted  he has a habit of doing ‘stupid’ things. McCoist said: “I just think he’s [Bellingham] unbelievable. I’ve got five boys in the house but if I had five daughters I’d probably let him take them all out at the same ...

SUPPORT   Harry Kane gets brilliant reception from Tottenham fans at Boxing Day clash with Brentford after World Cup penalty miss Tottenham fans loudly showed their support for Harry Kane following his missed penalty for England in Qatar . The 29-year-old was thrown straight back into Antonio Conte’s starting XI for  Spurs’ Boxing Day clash away at Brentford . Kane has been subject to harsh criticism after he blazed over his spot-kick against France in the Three Lions’ World Cup quarter-final defeat. He had equalised against Les Bleus from the spot, but with his second attempt late into the match, he spurned a key chance to level the game up at 2-2.
