In just seven Premier League appearances, Jesus has already picked up four yellow cards for Arsenal. Only five other players in the top flight have collected the same number of bookings, while Fulham’s Joao Palhinha picked up his fifth on Friday to rule him out of the Cottagers’ clash with Newcastle on October 1. Jesus has proved to be one of the signings of the summer and scored his fourth goal in a 3-0 win over Brentford on Sunday. But he was late on shown a yellow by referee David Coote to put him in doubt for an upcoming match. In just each respective club’s 19th league game of the season, the threshold for receiving a suspension has been lifted from five cards to 10. Jesus will therefore be hoping not to receive a yellow card in any of Arsenal’s next 12 league games, which they will win ‘ to be until the beginning of 2023 at least after two postponements.
