Gabriel Magalhães, one of Arsenal’s most important players, is set to miss the rest of the football season due to injury.
Mikel Arteta welcomed Bukayo Saka back to the squad on Tuesday night, but will be without yet another important player in his squad.
The Brazilian defender sustained a hamstring injury in Arsenal’s two-nil over Fulham on Tuesday night as he came off for Polish defender Jakub Kiwior after 16 minutes.
Gabriel Magalhães is now set to miss the rest of the season as test result shows that his hamstring injury will require surgery.
The 27-year-old defender has been quite solid for the Gunners this season, having featured in 38 matches in all competitions.
Gabriel’s absence in Arsenal’s defense is a huge blow as the Gunners prepare to take on Real Madrid in the quarter-final of the UEFA Champions League next week.
