Arsenal star Gabriel Jesus honestly assesses his chances of making Brazil's World Cup squad
Gabriel Jesus Faces Uphill Battle for Brazil Spot
Arsenal forward Gabriel Jesus has provided a candid assessment of his international standing as he fights to secure a place in Brazil's 2026 World Cup squad. The 28-year-old admitted that a lack of regular game time at the Emirates Stadium has complicated his path back into the Selecao setup.
Challenges at Arsenal
Jesus is facing an uphill battle to regain his spot in the national team as he navigates a challenging period in north London. Injuries have once again disrupted his campaign, leaving the former Manchester City man with limited rhythm and restricted minutes on the pitch. With only seven starts across 24 appearances this season, the forward’s output of five goals and two assists has left him on the periphery of Mikel Arteta’s strongest XI.
