Gabriel Jesus agent confident Arsenal striker will go to World Cup after Tite snub. Gabriel Jesus’ agents remain confident he will play for Brazil at the World Cup, despite being left out of Tite’s most recent squad ahead of the games against Ghana and Tunisia.

Arsenal’s No,9 has been in blistering form for his new club since his £45million summer transfer from Manchester City.

Jesus has scored four goals in seven appearance and helped fire Mikel Arteta’s new-look side to the top of the Premier League table ahead of the international break.

Despite a string of outstanding performances, the 25-year-old was surprisingly left out of Tite’s squad, along with Arsenal teammates Gabriel Magalhaes and Gabriel Martinelli, with the World Cup in Qatar on the horizon.

Gabriel Jesus agent confident Arsenal striker will go to World Cup after Tite snub. In Jesus’ absence, Brazil cantered to a 3-0 win over Ghana last week with Tottenham’s forward Richarlison scoring twice.

According to The Sun, however, Jesus’ camp are confident he will get the nod when Brazil’s experienced manager comes to make his final selection next month.

Having enjoyed an unexpected break, Jesus will head into Saturday’s north London derby fresh and chomping at the bit to help solidify Arsenal’s position at the summit of the fledgling league table.

Mikel Arteta, however, is sweating on a number of key personnel including the likes of Oleksandr Zinchenko, Kieran Tierney, Thomas Partey and Takehiro Tomiyasu.

Jesus’ former City teammate Zinchenko picked up an injury prior to the international break which ruled him out of the 3-0 win at Brentford a fortnight ago, while Tierney withdrew from the Scotland squad over the weekend with a head injury he suffered against Republic of Ireland.

Partey, meanwhile, made his much anticipated return from injury, after missing seven games with a calf strain, with a calf strain but was forced to pull out of the Black Stars’ 3-0 defeat against Brazil.

Tomiyasu, too, had only just returned from a muscle strain and featured for Japan in last week’s win over USA but returned to London Colney earlier this week and will miss tonight’s game against Ecuador.
