Gabriel Magalhaes’ health has been a major relief for Arsenal ahead of this weekend’s Premier League trip to Everton.
The 25-year-old recently earned his international debut for Brazil against Bolivia in a World Cup qualifying match. Gabriel defended with Marquinhos of Paris Saint-Germain as the five-time world champions prevailed 5-1.
The excitement of making his national team debut, however, was slightly diminished when Roger Ibanez replaced him in the 85th minute, and he was seen having ice treated to his right thigh.
The Brazil FA gave no indication of the severity of the injury, which gave the Gunners a momentary concern. But the residents of north London now have a great chance of seeing Gabriel at the match at Goodison Park.
The defender trained with Brazil, according to writer Charles Watts, and is anticipated to start against Peru on Tuesday. According to reports from the Brazil team, the defender’s scan for his thigh issue revealed no signs of an injury, therefore he should be able to travel back to London Colney without any problems.
Big blow. Particularly for him considering how recently he joined the team, Arteta stated on Timber. “Having the injury he does is a major setback. He wasn’t going to be able to achieve it this season, despite the fact that we recruited him with clear intents and could see what he would offer to the squad. We must change. Unfortunately, these things do happen, therefore we must go on.
“I’m not sure. Unfortunately, Party was hurt during practise, the Arsenal manager continued. “It doesn’t seem promising. He’ll be gone for a few weeks, I think. It is more groin-like.
Mohamed Elneny, a midfielder, is still out after sustaining a significant knee injury at the beginning of the year.
