“Gabby will now begin his rehabilitation programme,” Arsenal said, without giving details of when the 25-year-old may return.
“Everyone at the club is supporting Gabby and will be working hard to get him back on the pitch as soon as possible.”
Jesus has scored five goals in 20 matches for the Gunners in all competitions this season following his move to London from Manchester City.
