What Gabriel Magalhaes has been spotted doing amidst injury concerns
Arsenal’s defender Gabriel Magalhaes had his national debut during Saturday’s match against Bolivia.
Although Brazil won convincingly with a score of 5-1, the center-back sustained an injury that left Gunners fans extremely anxious.
Fortunately, the anxiety of Arsenal fans lessened somewhat as Gabriel was observed training on Sunday.
He had managed to play for 85 minutes before being injured and was seen limping off the field, applying an ice pack after the game.
Arsenal is already dealing with the absence of Jurien Timber and Thomas Partey due to injuries, and Gabriel’s injury scare almost sent their supporters into a panic.
Arteta can now breathe a sigh of relief as Gabriel returns to training, especially with a hectic week ahead, featuring matches against Everton, PSV Eindhoven, and their arch-rivals Tottenham Hotspur.
As per Globo Esporte, Gabriel underwent immediate scans following the game, and fortunately, no significant issues were detected. Consequently, the center-back is expected to represent Brazil in his second national game against Peru, scheduled for Wednesday.
Gabriel holds a nearly permanent starting position at Arsenal, and his well-being is of utmost importance to the club, which has relied heavily on his presence. Initially, he came off the bench in the first two games for Arsenal and was not utilized in the third.
While there was interest from the Saudi League due to his lack of playing time, Thomas Partey’s injury has secured a spot for the defender in the starting eleven, where he partners with William Saliba in the heart of the defense.
