ARSENAL star Gabriel Jesus has revealed he cannot remember the last time he played without pain.
The 27-year-old has been sidelined with injury on three separate occasions this season.
Jesus missed the start of the campaign with a knee problem.
At the end of October, the striker was back in the treatment room again after suffering a hamstring strain.
And most recently, Jesus was absent for five games in February with another knee injury.
Since signing for Arsenal in the summer of 2022, the Brazilian has had a stop-start spell after picking up an injury that required knee surgery at the World Cup in Qatar.

Opening up on his recent battles, Jesus said: “I’m just trying to get fit and help Arsenal as much as I can.
“Unfortunately, I’ve had some problems this season and I hope next season I don’t have those.
“Sometimes I feel it (pain in his knee). I don’t remember the last day I played football without pain so I cannot complain.
“I’m just trying to recover well and then that’s it. Mentally I try to keep strong in my mind.”
