Gabriel Magalhaes reveals Arsenal’s injury, while Mikel Arteta endures an anxious West Ham delay.

Mikel Arteta is anticipating an anxious delay at West Ham as Gabriel Magalhaes breaks his silence regarding his Arsenal injury.

Gabriel Magalhaes has taken to social media following his late exit from the match against Sporting CP due to an injury during Arsenal’s match.

On Tuesday night in the Champions League, the Gunners defeated the Portuguese side by five goals, with the centre-back playing an instrumental role.

Mikel Arteta’s team emerged victorious with a 5-1 scoreline, securing seventh place in the league phase chart. Gabriel Martinelli, Kai Havertz, Gabriel, Bukayo Saka, and Leandro Trossard scored goals.

However, Gabriel’s limping and subsequent replacement by Jakub Kiwior with just over five minutes remaining at the Estádio José Alvalade was concerning, given the upcoming rigorous schedule of upcoming games. “We are unaware.”

“We were compelled to make the change because he was experiencing some discomfort,” Arteta stated following the match when asked for an update on Gabriel. “I was on the brink of substituting for Raz [Raheem Sterling], but I was unable to do so.” We were compelled to remove him.

The Arsenal team will be anticipating Gabriel’s availability for the Premier League match against West Ham on Saturday.

The Brazilian appeared to be in a good mood following the match against Sporting and decided to break his silence on Instagram in response to the injury concerns.

Gabriel captioned a photograph of himself and his teammates celebrating his headed first-half goal with the following: “Amazing energy from the team and our supporters!!”

Continuing on to the subsequent step! [fire emoji] [love heart icon].” Additionally, Gabriel posted a photograph of himself and Declan Rice on the pitch to his Instagram Story, in addition to additional images of him celebrating his goal.

In one of the images, he is depicted using his fingertips to form the letter ‘M’, a reference to his young daughter Maya, whom he also mentioned on his Instagram Story.

Gabriel’s recovery from the injury sustained against Sporting will be the primary focus of Arsenal’s upcoming match against West Ham at London Stadium on Saturday evening.

Arsenal will play seven matches in December, including matches against Manchester United, Everton, and Crystal Palace, following their match against West Ham.
