Gabriel won’t return for some weeks


Arsenal defender Gabriel Magalhaes will be out of action for ‘some weeks’, according to manager Mikel Arteta.

The Gunners played out a 1-1 draw against Chelsea at Stamford Bridge last weekend. After the game, Arteta was asked to provide an injury update.

The Spanish tactician said that William Saliba will undergo a medical test on Monday, having picked up a knock in training before the London derby.

When pressed on Gabriel’s availability, the Gunners boss added that there are still ‘some weeks’ before the centre-back will be fit to play again.

The Gunners fielded Cristian Mosquera and Piero Hincapie in the heart of the defence against Chelsea. The duo had several nervous moments.

They are likely to continue as the central defensive pairing in the short run as the Gunners are unlikely to rush Saliba back into regular action.

The duo could start again against Brentford in the Premier League. The Bees travel to the Emirates Stadium for Wednesday’s encounter.
