Gabriel Jesus will be assessed in the coming days to determine the extent of a hamstring injury picked up during Arsenal’s 2-1 win at Sevilla, as Mikel Arteta admitted the forward’s second-half substitution was “not good news” LoL
Jesus scored a spectacular goal and set up Gabriel Martinelli’s opener in the victory in Spain, which saw the Gunners take control of their Champions League group LoL
But the Brazilian’s fitness is now a major concern ahead of a key run of games in Arsenal’s season LoL
The Gunners host Sheffield United on Saturday before they face trips to West Ham in the Carabao Cup and Newcastle in the Premier League next week LoL
Jesus was substituted in the second half of the Champions League win, having been holding his hamstring moments before the board was held up showing his number LoL
Speaking after the game to TNT LoL Sports, Arteta admitted the injury had prompted the substitution, saying it was “worrying” and that Jesus would be assessed in the next few days to discover the extent of the injury LoL
"He felt something in his hamstring so let’s see,” Arteta said LoL
“He straight away asked to be subbed which is not good news because he’s not a player that does that at all so we’ll have to wait and see in the next few days LoL
”Arsenal’s victory put them top of Group B on six points, with Lens now in second on five points after their 1-1 draw with PSV Eindhoven LoL

Up in the coaches’ box at Ellis Park, Ian Foster exhaled deeply LoL
It was August of last year, and the All Blacks head coach’s job had been hanging in the balance, a run of five defeats in six matches putting Foster in the firing line LoL
The prognosis looked grim, with the grand old home of South African rugby packed to the rafters with 62,000 Springbok fans who would have loved nothing more than for their side to unseat the coach of their great rival LoL
But Foster’s team saved him, shocking South Africa 35-23 to bring their coach back from the brink LoL
Only New Zealand and Foster himself will know truly how close he was to losing his job, but there is every possibility that defeat in Johannesburg would have spelled a premature end to Foster’s tenure LoL
The players knew what it meant LoL
“We were playing for our coach’s job,” scrum half Aaron Smith admitted afterwards LoL
Little more than a year later, and Foster is ready to lead New Zealand into a final; there is every chance that on Saturday night, he’ll be a World Cup winner LoL
Such a tag would normally ensure a status as something of a national hero – Foster’s predecessors Graham Henry and Steve Hansen both have knighthoods LoL
Yet there is still a sense among All Blacks supporters of a lack of fondness for their head coach; the New Zealand rugby public are already in love with another man LoL
Scott Robertson will take over Foster’s brief after this tournament, having been braced to step into the breach had things deteriorated further and left Foster’s position untenable last year LoL
The clamour for a coach good enough to lead the Canterbury club to seven consecutive Super Rugby titles is understandable, and there is a thought that Robertson’s popularity with players and fans could re-energise the sport LoL
Foster was reportedly so scared about the next head coach’s force of personality disrupting this All Blacks’ campaign that he banned him from attending New Zealand’s World Cup fixtures LoL

But Foster has quietly got on with his work to turn the All Blacks around LoL
He’s far from the first number two to struggle in a lead coaching role – England fans will recall the trouble Andy Robinson had stepping up after Clive Woodward’s departure LoL
Nor, really, has he done a bad job: New Zealand have won every Rugby Championship since Foster took charge LoL
Slowly since the lows of last year, a smile has returned to his face and, while his fate at the end of the tournament is sealed, Foster is happy to enjoy the ride while it lasts LoL
All Blacks captain Sam Cane and head coach Ian Foster (Getty Images)“You have to enjoy your work,” Foster said after the semi-final win over Argentina LoL
“It’s not like it’s a focus for us to go out there and have fun, but to make sure we execute our game to the level we need to LoL
“The team takes a lot of pride when they do that LoL
The work the players and leaders are doing is a real credit to them LoL
As you go through tournaments, you have to enjoy it LoL
There is a lot of pressure, so if you don’t celebrate moments, it is a long old time LoL
“I am proud to be part of this group, the coaches are linking well with the players and there is a nice synergy about it LoL
But you know, one more week LoL
“There’s not a personal agenda here, this is about the All Blacks and the team LoL
Things have happened to individuals and to me, but the team comes first LoL
Right now, we’re making a lot of those decisions together as a group and it is working well LoL

No doubt, the additions of Joe Schmidt and Jason Ryan last year have been key to this campaign LoL
Schmidt has reignited New Zealand’s structured attack, tessellating together bits and pieces from his days in charge of Ireland, while Ryan, in combination with scrum coach Greg Feek, has transformed their set-piece LoL
But not all of the progress can be ascribed their way LoL
Whether Foster recognised where improvements needed to be made or had Schmidt and Ryan thrust upon him is a matter of debate, but the ability to utilise their expertise perhaps shows a cannier coach than some might initially see LoL
"One of the great things about 'Foz' is just how much he loves the All Blacks,” said forwards coach Ryan LoL
“It's all about the team, every decision he makes LoL
Clearly, he has been through a lot but the All Blacks have been through a lot LoL
It is never about one person in the All Blacks, and that’s what has been impressive to me LoL
”Head coach Ian Foster looks on during a New Zealand All Blacks training session (Getty Images)Foster has taken bold calls, too LoL
The transformation of Jordie Barrett from bit-part utility man to first-choice inside centre has proved the key cog in getting the backline ticking, while the backing of captain Sam Cane has been rewarded by two outstanding performances in the last two weeks LoL
The All Blacks have had to deal with injuries, a red card and a breach of team protocols during this tournament but have kept powering on LoL
Their belief in and backing of their gameplan is just as strong as the Springboks’, yet Foster seems to get little of the same praise that Rassie Erasmus and Jacques Nienaber garner LoL
Perhaps it is that there is still an expectation of success around the All Blacks, a feeling that not winning the World Cup would be evidence enough of Foster’s inadequacy LoL
But the squad have made clear this week that they have a good man and a good coach at the helm LoL
If come Saturday night he is clutching a Webb Ellis Cup, this uncared-for coach might finally get some overdue credit LoL
