Arsenal fans are starting to worry ahead of the restart of the season. Jesus is out for 3 months following an injury for Brazil and now Nelson looks set to be out for a while, leaving only Nketiah, Martinelli and Saka to lead the line, which isn't enough firepower.
Gunners winger Nelson was forced to make way only 20 minutes into Arsenal's 2-0 friendly defeat by Italian giants Juventus at Emirates Stadium on Saturday.
The 23-year-old academy graduate had been enjoying a resurgence in his Gunners career before the World Cup break, registering two goals and two assists in his last four appearances as he took his chances due to the poor form of Nketiah and the suspensions to some players as well as fixture congestion.
His form was a welcomed boost for the club giving us another option but now that's all been taken away.

After looking sharp during Arsenal's run of friendlies this month too and keen to get more game time this season, Nelson is set for a period on the sidelines.
Mikel Arteta has admitted that Reiss Nelson's injury isn't "good news" - but insists that Arsenal's January transfer plans won't change.
"We don't know the extent of the injury," Arteta told reporters after losing to Juventus. "The fact he had to leave the field straight away means it's not good news."
The need to secure a winger and striker looks like it has just ramped up and Edu will need to get a deal done fast, especially if the game against West Ham doesn't go our way.
Have your say
What do you good people of HIVE think?
