Rio Ferdinand insists he's 'worried' about Arsenal when Premier League football returns because the Gunners are without Gabriel Jesus, who is set for lengthy spell on the sidelines due to injury

Rio Ferdinand is worried about Arsenal's title challenge once the Premier League resumes, after Gabriel Jesus' World Cup setback.

Before proceedings took a break for events in Qatar, the Gunners signed off with a 2-0 win over Wolves that saw them go five points clear at the top of the Premier League table.

The club have also benefited from players such as captain Martin Odegaard, Oleksandr Zinchenko and Gabriel Magalhaes not being involved in the tournament. While early exits for Granit Xhaka and Thomas Partey have seen them already return to first-team training.
