Arsenal have been dealt several injury concerns during the November international break.
Mikel Arteta‘s team have worked themselves into a promising position after 11 games in the Premier League. The Gunners sit four points clear of second-placed Manchester City and eight ahead of last season’s winners, Liverpool.
Arteta’s side have won eight, drawn two and lost just once in the league so far. Their only defeat came at Anfield against Liverpool, courtesy of a second-half free-kick from Dominik Szoboszlai.
But there are several injury concerns for Arteta’s squad heading into Sunday’s trip to Tottenham Hotspur. Below is the latest on Arsenal’s injuries…
Gabriel
Gabriel Magalhaes was seen limping off during Brazil’s clash against Senegal on Saturday. The centre-back was in some pain after holding what looked to be a groin injury on his right side.
Gabriel’s expression said it all, and he covered his face with his shirt in frustration as he exited the pitch. Brazil manager Carlo Ancelotti initially said Gabriel had suffered an adductor injury but scans confirmed he sustained a knee injury.
In a statement on Sunday, the Brazilian Football Confederation said: “Arsenal player Gabriel Magalhaes was re-evaluated this Sunday (16) and underwent imaging tests that revealed a muscle injury in his right thigh.
