"In the middle of the second half, Arsenal defender Gabriel Magalhaes limped off in obvious discomfort to be replaced by Roma youngster Wesley. Brazil boss Carlo Ancelotti described the problem as an adductor injury after the match but wasn't able to issue an immediate update. We are really sorry for this, Ancelotti told the press in London. He had a problem on his adductor the medical staff have to check tomorrow."
"Arsenal also have a major injury concern over fellow defender Riccardo Calafiori, who missed Italy's win against Moldova in World Cup 2026 qualifying on Thursday and has now returned to London after withdrawing from the Azzurri camp before their final qualifier against Norway. The left-back is managing a hip injury and is now in the hands of his club's medical team with the visit of Spurs around the corner."
Mikel Arteta faces the prospect of a North London Derby without two members of his regular starting lineup after injuries on international duty. Gabriel Magalhaes limped off during Brazil's friendly at the Emirates and was replaced by Roma youngster Wesley; Carlo Ancelotti described the issue as an adductor problem requiring medical checks. Riccardo Calafiori withdrew from Italy's camp with a hip injury, returned to London, and is now under Arsenal's medical care. Calafiori has started all 11 Premier League matches this season and provides attacking threat from left-back. Arsenal may need to adapt the back line for Tottenham's visit.
