Injury Concern for Arsenal as Gabriel Withdraws from Brazil Match
There is cause for alarm at Arsenal following an injury scare involving defender Gabriel Magalhães. The player suffered an injury during Brazil’s friendly match against Senegal at the Emirates Stadium.
The 27-year-old was injured just before the 60-minute mark, prompting Carlo Ancelotti, the team’s manager, to substitute him after he received treatment for an issue with his right thigh.
Following the match, Ancelotti expressed uncertainty about the extent of Gabriel’s injury, stating, “I don’t know if Gabriel has an injury. I think he felt something in his adductor. He’ll be examined tomorrow. We’re very sad that he felt that. I wish him a speedy recovery.”
Gabriel’s potential absence would significantly impact the Gunners, who are riding high after a strong start to the season, allowing just five goals in 11 matches in the Premier League.
During the same match, Brazil managed to secure a 2-0 victory over Senegal, with Estêvão, a young winger from Chelsea, scoring the opening goal, followed by Casemiro from Manchester United, who added the second from a free-kick.
