Arsenal suffered a major blow after one of their key players suffered an injury during Tuesday’s Premier League match against Fulham.
After 16 minutes, center-back Gabriel suffered a muscle injury and left the field, clearly in pain.
According to British media reports, there are concerns that Gabriel will be sidelined for a long time, or at least miss next week’s Champions League match against Real Madrid.
The Brazilian defender’s injury poses a real crisis, leaving Arsenal virtually without a center-back, with the exception of William Saliba.
Riccardo Calafiori is out with a sprained ankle, along with Rob Holland and Aiden Haven, leaving Arteta with only Jacob Kwier to replace Gabriel.
It’s worth noting that Arsenal are also facing a major offensive crisis due to the absence of Gabriel Jesus and Kai Havertz, but the good news is that Bukayo Saka has recovered and is likely to be available for the Real Madrid match.
