Prior to the trip to Everton, Arsenal may now be without three crucial players.
Before going to Everton, Arsenal has experienced yet another setback due to injuries.
similar to football. Gabriel Magalhaes’ appearance for Brazil over the weekend may leave the Gunners without him in London.
This week, Gabriel joined the South American team, starting alongside Marquinhos as they defeated Bolivia 5-1 in a World Cup qualifying match.
Despite Brazil’s victory, Mikel Arteta must have been worried when his defender was substituted with only five minutes remaining and was seen holding ice on his thigh.
Gabriel’s physical therapist, Dr. Rajpal Brar, tweeted updates to the public about his injury.
Thigh problem for Arsenal CB Gabriel Magalhaes, he wrote.
Uncertain whether the pain is the result of a muscle pull or contact.”.
He later provided an update, saying, “Based on what multiple people have told me, sounds contact related.
News that is generally favorable.”.
Although Brazil still have a game against Peru before he visits Goodison Park, it is unclear how serious this is for Gabriel and whether it will affect their match against Everton the following weekend.
Could Arsenal be forced to employ a defense similar to the one that allowed Fulham to score twice?
The Gunners already have Jurrien Timber out of the backline, so Gabriel’s potential absence would compound their injury concerns. Thomas Partey will also miss time due to an injury sustained in practice.
After being benched for several of Arsenal’s early games in favor of Ben White who played a more central role, fans were eager to see Gabriel rejoin the squad.
Gabriel could be replaced by Jakub Kiwior or Takehiro Tomiyasu could fill in at right-back for White.
Next weekend, Everton will need to play exceptionally well to win all three points, but Gabriel’s injury might make Beto, Arnaut Danjuma, and Dwight McNeil’s afternoon more promising.
