"The Brazil international has apparently not been able to train this week since leaving the pitch with an issue in the Atletico game on Tuesday night, according to Arteta in his press conference today, as quoted on X by journalist Simon Collings Arteta says Gabriel is a doubt for Crystal Palace on Sunday: Big Gabi had to leave the pitch [against Atletico] with an issue. He hasn't been able to train yet."
"Arsenal have better strength in depth this season, but can they cope without Gabriel Magalhaes? Arsenal fans will hope this Gabriel injury isn't anything too serious, but one reassuring thing this season is that Arteta has a bigger squad and better depth to be able to cope with situations like this. One slightly underrated new signing this summer was Cristhian Mosquera, the young Spanish centre-back who joined from Valencia."
"Mosquera has already had some playing time in Arsenal's starting line up this season while William Saliba was out for a few games, and he barely put a foot wrong. He might not be at Gabriel's level, but Mosquera is more than good enough to fill in for one or two games, though of course AFC fans will hope it doesn't end up having to be too many more than that."
Gabriel Magalhaes left the Atletico Madrid match with an issue and has not been able to train this week, making him doubtful for the Crystal Palace game. Arsenal beat Atletico 4-0 and sit with positive momentum, but the squad may need to cope without the Brazil international. Arsenal possess greater strength in depth this season, including young signing Cristhian Mosquera from Valencia. Mosquera has already played in the starting lineup and performed well while William Saliba was out. Other versatile options include Ben White, Jurrien Timber and Riccardo Calafiori.
