Gabriel from Arsenal, out due to injury: One month out, key matches.

Arsenal’s central defender, Gabriel Magalhães, will be out of action for at least a month, according to sources close to the club. The Brazilian international suffered a muscle injury in his thigh during his national team’s friendly against Senegal last Saturday. The Gunners’ medical staff are still assessing the severity of the injury, but the initial diagnosis points to a four-week absence. Recovery could be extended if the injury does not evolve as expected.

This is a significant loss for Mikel Arteta and his team. Gabriel, 27 years old, has been fundamental in both defense and attack this season, starting in every Premier League and Champions League match. Arsenal have kept a clean sheet seven times in the Premier League and have conceded only five goals in 11 games, largely thanks to Gabriel’s performance. In addition, he has scored two goals and provided three assists in all competitions. He will miss important matches such as the North London derby against Tottenham, the Champions League clash against Bayern Munich, and the visit to Stamford Bridge to face Chelsea. Arteta has several options to replace him in defense. However, Italy confirmed that Riccardo Calafiori left his training camp due to an injury.
