At the beginning of the season, Arteta had shockingly left Gabriel off of his team rosters, opting instead to start Thomas Partey at right back and Ben White alongside William Saliba in the middle.

But in a tense match at the Emirates, the Brazilian was back with Saliba to help the Gunners defeat Manchester United 3-1.

During the international break, Gabriel was pictured with an ice pack on his thigh after being removed from the game against Bolivia with five minutes remaining.

Just four days later, he played the whole 90 minutes against Peru, appearing to have recovered from the little ailment.

The injury to Gabriel Magalhaes, according to Mikel Arteta, must be ‘conscious’ of by Arsenal in the upcoming weeks.

After being replaced during the match against Bolivia, the defender was spotted with an ice pack on his thigh.

 

But four days later, he participated in his team’s 1-0 victory over Peru, playing the full 90 minutes.

When questioned if there were any questions regarding Gabriel’s fitness, Arteta responded, “We try to always check the players and understand what happened.

We maintained good communication with the national team, although Gabi experienced a minor problem before managing to participate in the second game.

Therefore, it is something that we must certainly be aware of for the upcoming matchups.

The Gunners, who have three victories and a tie versus Fulham so far this season, will take on Everton next.

The swift and ongoing ascent of Bukayo Saka has been a major factor in why the Gunners have been so remarkable over the past 12 months.

Fans may have been alarmed when he seemed to have trouble during England’s recent 1-1 draw with Ukraine, but Arteta has since allayed those fears by saying the player has been back in training as usual.

He is fine; today he trained normally. Nothing has to be reported. Every player experiences aches or problems. But

While playing for England against Ukraine, Bukayo Saka appeared to struggle, although Arteta claimed that he had been training normally.

Despite being the player at Arsenal with the longest tenure, Mohamed Elneny has been sidelined since January due to a serious knee injury.

When asked about the Egyptian legend, the Spanish coach responded, “He has been training with us, he had a little niggle in his hamstring a few weeks ago, and he is back in training now.”

It’s clear that the injury has been ongoing; he is currently in the final stages of rehabilitation. After that, it will be important to help him gain confidence and playing time.

“I always said he’s our glue player,” the coach added. “He’s the one who brings everybody together, sticks everybody together. He’s a really important player for me in the squad, and I am delighted to have him.”
