Gabriel Magalhaes came off injured in the final moments against Tottenham last night. The Brazilian is a player who rarely will signal to come off the field and Arteta said as much.
Gabriel has been a stalwart of the Arsenal defence forming a strong partnership with Ben White. However, there is a chance that both players will be unavailable for the trip to Newcastle on Monday that Arsenal need to win to help confirm Champions League qualification.
Speaking after the game, Arteta said regarding Gabriel Magalhaes’ status: “I don’t know. Gabi is normally not a player who wants to or asks to come off the pitch, he felt something and hopefully it’s not much, because having Rob out and Ben with no training sessions, obviously we are really short in that position.”
