Gabriel Misses Match Against Brazil Due to Injury
Arsenal defender Gabriel will not be available for Brazil’s match against Tunisia on Tuesday due to a groin injury. The player had to be substituted before the hour mark in Brazil’s friendly against Senegal on Saturday.As a result, Gabriel will not travel with the team for the match against Tunisia in Lille. No other player will be called up to replace him. This injury represents a hard blow for Arsenal, whose performance in the search for the title this season has been boosted by Gabriel’s performances in defense. The defender has been fundamental in a defense that has conceded only five goals in 11 Premier League matches. Furthermore, he has participated in three goals, including a late winning goal against Newcastle United in September. The injury puts Gabriel’s participation in the North London derby against Tottenham Hotspur at risk after the international break.“Arsenal player Gabriel Magalhães was re-evaluated this Sunday and underwent imaging tests that revealed a muscle injury in his right thigh,” the Brazilian federation reported in a statement.
