Mikel Arteta has provided an update on Gabriel Jesus’s injury, assuring Arsenal fans that the striker could be back in action soon. Jesus sustained the injury during the team’s preparations for the season, which was a significant setback for the Gunners.

While the absence of Jesus is undoubtedly felt in the team’s preparations, Arteta’s side is working diligently to prepare for the upcoming season without him. The Brazilian forward is a key player and an essential part of the team, so his absence is keenly felt.

Initially, it was anticipated that Jesus would be out for an extended period after undergoing a procedure, which was disappointing news for Arsenal supporters. However, Arteta has now revealed a more positive development.

He says as quoted by the Daily Mail:

‘He is fine. Obviously, he was very disappointed, he was feeling very good and this issue came up.

Arsenal will face Manchester City in the Community Shield tomorrow as top-flight football returns and the Premier League follows next week.

Mikel Arteta’s men earned their place as the second team in the country last season after City won the league and FA Cup.

The Community Shield is sometimes considered just an extension of the pre-season preparations for both clubs.

However, some teams take it seriously and depending on who you ask, it is a big deal.

However, former striker Chris Sutton insists Mikel Arteta and Pep Guardiola will not consider it an important game.

In recent weeks, Brentford has been resolute in their stance, demanding £40m for the sale of David Raya. This hefty price tag was one of the contributing factors that led to the collapse of his potential move to Bayern Munich and Tottenham.

Now, Arsenal is eager to secure the transfer and acquire Raya, but they find themselves in a challenging position due to the high asking price. The Gunners are determined to make the deal happen, despite the obstacles.

However, there is some hope for the Gunners. According to a report in the Daily Mail, Arsenal may be able to finalise the transfer at a reduced price of £30m. Although this amount is more than Arsenal’s initial offer, it falls short of Brentford’s initial demand. Nevertheless, the report suggests that this revised offer could be sufficient to reach an agreement and complete the deal for David Raya.

Brentford wants big money for Raya and we can understand this, considering how inflated the transfer market is and the performance of the Spanish goalie in the last few seasons.

The Food and Drug Administration has approved the first pill specifically designed to treat postpartum depression, a common condition affecting mothers that can make it harder to bond with a new baby by causing severe despair, anxiety, shame, panic attacks, and suicidal thoughts.

The drug, Zurzuvae, is designed to be taken once a day for two weeks after pregnancy—a much shorter period than currently deployed treatments, such as antidepressants or talk therapy, that are not specific to postpartum depression. Federal health officials said they hope the pill will encourage more new mothers to seek help for the condition, which affects an estimated 400,000 people annually. Left untreated, symptoms may go away on their own within weeks but can sometimes linger for months or even years.

The only other medication designed specifically for postpartum depression isn’t a pill and is difficult to get—it requires a 60-hour IV infusion at a hospital, can cause a loss of consciousness, and costs $34,000.

“Having access to an oral medication will be a beneficial option for many of these women coping with extreme, and sometimes life-threatening, feelings,” said Dr. Tiffany Farchione, the leader of the FDA division that approved the pill, in a Friday statement.

Zurzuvae was developed by Sage Therapeutics, the same company behind the IV treatment, and is produced in partnership with the firm Biogen. It is expected to be available after a 90-day review by the Drug Enforcement Administration, though the companies have not revealed how much it will cost.

Former England striker Gary Lineker has tipped Arsenal to learn from losing the Premier League title last season and win the next one.

Mikel Arteta’s team were surprise challengers in the competition after not being in the top four for several seasons.

They led the standings for over 200 days, but eventually fell short and Manchester City went on to win yet another title.

The Citizens are undeniably the best team in England and Europe at the moment and swept others away as they won the league.

That victory came as a loss to Arsenal and the Gunners would be eager to go one better in this campaign and Lineker thinks they can.

Arsenal is close to adding David Raya to their squad in this transfer window and a number of people are baffled by this decision.

The Gunners are working hard to win the league this season after finishing second in the last campaign.

However, they already have one of the best goalkeepers in England in Aaron Ramsdale, who is even gunning for the number one spot in the national team.

However, they are still in the running for Raya and could close a deal for him in the coming days.

The Spaniard has already agreed to join them as they negotiate a transfer fee with Brentford for his signature.

On Thursday, Donald Trump pleaded not guilty to federal criminal charges that he orchestrated a conspiracy to overturn his 2020 election loss. During the arraignment, Trump agreed he would not try to influence or intimidate witnesses or do anything else that might obstruct justice in the case.

But then on Friday, he posted a threatening message on his social media platform, Truth Social: “If you go after me, I’m coming after you!” Trump wrote in all-caps. Minutes later, Trump’s 2024 presidential campaign posted a one-minute video that names and shows the images of four prosecutors who are pursuing legal cases against him, describing them as the “fraud squad.” 

Prosecutors soon responded, using his his social media habits—and specifically his recent Truth post—as ammo. In a filing from late Friday lodged in a DC federal court, the office of Special Counsel Jack Smith (one of the prosecutors named in the ad) asked US District Judge Tanya Chutkan to impose a protective order prohibiting Trump and his lawyers from sharing evidence in the case with unauthorized people.

While Smith’s team did not explicitly argue Trump’s post constituted a threat, they included an image of it it as evidence of his tendency to post about “witnesses, judges, attorneys, and others associated with legal matters pending against him,” saying it raised the prospect that he might improperly post information or documents shared with his legal team ahead of the trial.

If he did so, it “could have a harmful chilling effect on witnesses or adversely affect the fair administration of justice in this case,” prosecutors warned.

Former Premier League striker Frank McAvennie insists Nicolas Pepe never looked good enough to be an Arsenal player from the start of his spell at the club.

Arsenal landed the Ivorian for a record fee in 2019 after being the top scorer at Lille in France in the previous campaign.

Pepe arrived under Unai Emery and Arsenal hoped he would deliver for them as a club, but that never happened.

He struggled under Emery and Mikel Arteta. The latter did all he could to help the winger, but nothing worked.

Pepe went on loan to Nice last season and flopped. Arsenal is now contemplating ending his contract early so he can leave, but McAvennie insists he is not a player that should have been signed in the first place.

There is a surprising report on TRT Sport stating that Jorginho, who joined Arsenal from Chelsea in the January transfer window, wants to leave the club. The Brazilian-Italian midfielder has quickly become one of the most experienced players at the Emirates and has been performing well for Mikel Arteta’s side.

Despite being an important player for Arsenal, the report suggests that Jorginho has expressed a desire to be sold, indicating his interest in departing the club. The Turkish club Fenerbahce is reportedly interested in signing him, and Jorginho has requested that Arsenal consider their offer for his signature.

If this report is accurate, it could signal an unexpected development in Jorginho’s career at Arsenal, especially considering he has only been with the Gunners for six months. However, transfer situations can be fluid, and players’ preferences may change based on various factors. As of now, it remains to be seen how Arsenal and Jorginho’s situation will unfold in the upcoming transfer window.

Just Arsenal Opinion

Jorginho has been at the Emirates for less than a year, so it is hard to think that he would want to leave.

Inter Milan has shown significant interest in acquiring Takehiro Tomiyasu in recent weeks as they look to strengthen their defence. The Japanese international is no stranger to Serie A, having previously played for Bologna before making the move to Arsenal.

While at Arsenal, Tomiyasu has faced some injury issues, but when fit, he has proven to be a key player for the club. Despite reports claiming that Arsenal rejected Inter’s initial inquiry and deemed Tomiyasu untouchable, the Italian club remains undeterred.

According to Sport Witness, Inter Milan considers Tomiyasu a player they genuinely need, and he is considered one of their top targets in this transfer window. The club views him as a favourite for reinforcement and is intent on pursuing his signature.

Inter Milan will continue their efforts to add Tomiyasu to their squad and will likely make another attempt to strike a deal with Arsenal. With the belief that Tomiyasu can significantly bolster their defence, the Italian club remains committed to securing his services before the transfer window closes.
