Arsenal defender Gabriel Magalhaes leaving the field with an injury

    Key Takeaways:

  • Gabriel Magalhaes will miss the remainder of the season due to a hamstring injury that requires surgery
  • The Brazilian was forced off early during the London derby against Fulham
  • Arsenal confirm he will begin rehab immediately, targeting a return at the start of next season

Arsenal suffered another major blow to their ambitions after the club officially announced that defender Gabriel Magalhaes will undergo surgery and will be sidelined for the remainder of the season. The Brazilian picked up an injury during the London derby against Fulham and was substituted in the 16th minute.

“Gabi will undergo a surgical repair procedure to his hamstring in the coming days, and immediately begin his recovery and rehabilitation programme, with the aim to be ready for the start of next season. Everyone at the club will be fully focused on supporting Gabi to ensure he is back to full fitness as soon as possible” the club stated.

This is another problem for manager Mikel Arteta in a season already plagued by injury setbacks. Gabriel’s absence will be particularly felt in the upcoming Champions League ties against Real Madrid. The central defender has been a regular starter and one of the most consistent performers in the Gunners’ backline.

So far this season, Gabriel Magalhaes has featured in 42 matches across all competitions, contributing 5 goals and 3 assists. His leadership and presence at the back will be sorely missed as Arsenal continue their push for silverware on multiple fronts.
