Arsenal will be without its star defender against Manchester United in the Premier League due to injury, the club announced before the match.
Gabriel's omission comes as a shock with Jakub Kiwior filling in next to William Saliba against Ruben Amorim's men. Riccardo Calafiori also misses out through injury with Oleksandr Zinchenko starting at left back. The Brazilian was substituted early against West Ham United last time out with Arteta saying he was feeling the effects of an injury suffered against Sporting Lisbon in the Champions League. Though, it could've been interpreted as just protecting the player given the Gunners scored five and had a comfy three goal lead.
