Gabriel Magalhães - thigh

Arsenal's central defender Gabriel Magalhães (27) is a major doubt for the upcoming North London derby after scans confirmed he has suffered a muscle injury in his right thigh. The centre-back was forced off during Brazil’s 2–0 win at the Emirates on Saturday, leaving the pitch in visible discomfort.

On Sunday, the Brazilian FA confirmed that imaging tests revealed a thigh muscle injury, ruling Gabriel out of Tuesday’s friendly against Tunisia in Lille. Gabriel will remain in London for further assessment.

Brazil manager Carlo Ancelotti expressed regret over the injury, explaining that the defender had “a problem with his adductor” and that further evaluation would determine the severity. Ancelotti added: “We are really sorry for this… I hope he can recover well and soon.” (Source: The Mirror)
