The Brazil international suffered a head injury during Sunday’s 3-2 win over Liverpool at Emirates after he was caught by an elbow from Kostas Tsimikas.

The 25-year-old required lengthy statement on the pitch but was eventually able to continue before being replaced by Eddie Nketiah.

After being assessed, Jesus has reportedly not suffered a concussion and was thought to be available for the trip to Norway.

The former Manchester City was not among the Arsenal group training on Wednesday.

But reports suggest Jesus’ absence was not enforced with the Gunners choosing to rest him.

Jesus has had an instant impact in north London since his arrival from the Premier League champions, scoring five goals and laying on five assists in his 11 appearances this season.

Asked for an update following Sunday’s win, Mikel Arteta said of his forward: ‘I don’t know, I haven’t been with the doctor yet, I’m sure they are checking him, he seemed ok after the game.

‘I don’t know actually what happened but we’ll assess how well he is.’

Victory over Liverpool saw Arsenal move back to the summit of the Premier League having won eight of their nine league games, with their only blemish a defeat away to Manchester United.

Arteta’s side head to Elland Road on Sunday.
