Gabriel Magalhães appears set for an extended spell on the sidelines after sustaining a thigh injury during his recent national-team appearance.
Initial examinations suggest he may miss one to two months, with concerns he may not return until January 2026.
Arsenal FC boss Mikel Arteta confirmed the injury is a significant blow, calling Gabriel “our leader in our back-line.” He added that further scanning this week will clarify the full duration of his absence.
During Gabriel’s absence, Arsenal must adjust quickly ahead of crucial fixtures, relying on other defenders to fill the void.
