Arsenal injury news: 3 key players miss Everton encounter after Gabriel update
In today’s update regarding Arsenal’s injuries, there’s news about Gabriel Magalhaes, who was previously a concern for the Everton match, and more.
Arsenal is set to play Everton away on Sunday, marking Mikel Arteta’s return to managing the team after the international break. The team’s morale is currently quite high following their thrilling victory over Manchester United.
It appears to be an opportune moment to face Everton. However, it’s important to note that taking on a Sean Dyche-managed team on their turf is always a challenging task.
Considering this, Mikel Arteta aims to deploy his strongest starting lineup. Nevertheless, he’s conscious of the upcoming midweek fixture against PSV in the Champions League opener.
While squad rotation will become a crucial factor, it doesn’t appear advisable to initiate that strategy at this juncture.

Fortunately for Mikel Arteta, there is some encouraging news regarding Arsenal’s injuries as reported by Football London.
They assert that despite Gabriel receiving treatment for his leg after being substituted during his time with the Brazilian national team, he is still expected to be available for their next match on Tuesday.
In terms of injured players for Arsenal, the situation remains unchanged with the familiar trio of Thomas Partey, Jurrien Timber, and Mohamed Elneny, all of whom are not anticipated to be ready for action in Sunday’s fixture.
At the outset of this season, Gabriel Magalhaes found himself on the bench, which is not his preferred position. Mikel Arteta explained that this decision was based on tactical considerations.
However, since then, Gabriel has been reintegrated into the starting lineup. Following his impressive performance against Manchester United, the Brazilian likely feels confident about his chances of being selected to play against Everton. Nevertheless, the ultimate decision rests with the manager, Mikel Arteta.
