There may be no rest for the wicked but even Jesus doesn’t get a night off at the Emirates these days.
Gabriel Jesus might have played in all but one of Arsenal’s games this season but still has to answer the call of duty every three days.
News of the £45million striker’s inclusion in Mikel Arteta’s starting line-up inevitably went down like a s*** sandwich with the Emirates fans who couldn’t understand why he wasn’t being wrapped in cotton wool for Sunday’s Premier League trip to Chelsea.
In the absence of captain Martin Odegaard and the suspended Granit Xhaka, at least he got to wear the armband for the first time.
He still wasn’t able to end a goal drought which has now stretched to eight games after starting his Arsenal career like a house on fire.
