"Gabriel limped off during Brazil's 2-0 win against Senegal in a friendly at the Emirates Stadium on Saturday and returned to the club for more tests this week after it was confirmed he had sustained a muscle injury in his right thigh. The tests are understood to be continuing and Arsenal have yet to confirm how long the influential 27-year-old will be absent, although he is not expected to be available for the north London derby against Tottenham on Sunday or the Champions League meeting with Bayern Munich three days later."
"There are concerns that Gabriel could miss at least a month or possibly longer, depending on the severity of the injury. That would also rule him out of Premier League fixtures against Chelsea and Brentford at home and Aston Villa away, as well as the Champions League match at Club Brugge on 10 December. Mikel Arteta's side who have a four-point lead over Manchester City then face Wolves at home before their rearranged trip to Everton on 20 December."
Gabriel Magalhaes sustained a muscle injury in his right thigh after limping off during Brazil's 2-0 friendly win over Senegal and returned to Arsenal for further tests. The club are conducting ongoing assessments and expect him to miss the north London derby with Tottenham and the Champions League tie against Bayern Munich. Concerns exist that he could be sidelined for at least a month, ruling him out of several Premier League and European fixtures in December. Gabriel has started every league minute and is central to a defence that has conceded five goals in 11 games. Cristhian Mosquera and Piero Hincapie are possible replacements.
