Mikel Arteta has provided a concerning update on Gabriel after the defender was forced off during Arsenal's 3-0 defeat to Tottenham with an injury.
The Gunners started the crucial North London Derby well but found themselves behind when Harry Kane converted a controversial penalty for a soft foul by Cedric. Rob Holding was then shown a second yellow card for a block on Heung Min-Son moments later. Then in Holding's absence, Kane was allowed to pull away from Eddie Nketiah to head home a second from close range after a flick on at a corner that was itself surrounded in controversy due to what appeared to be a foul on Bukayo Saka in the build-up.
Any chance of a second-half comeback was ended as Son struck a third for Spurs just seconds after the break. To make matters worse for Arsenal Gabriel then appeared to pull up injured and had to be replaced by Nuno Tavares for the closing exchanges of the match. Now Arteta has provided the latest on the Brazilian's fitness.
