The central defender of Arsenal, Gabriel Magalhaes, returned from international service early this month, but in contrast to two of his other teammates, the Brazilian defender did not suffer from an injury.
In addition to Paris Saint-Germain-captain Marquinhos, Gabriel faced Colombia in a World Cup qualification game on Friday. The high-towering air presence caused Brazil to perform with a 2-1 win, but got a lazy-inducing yellow card. Since he would not play a role in the resentment on Wednesday against Argentina, Gabriel was allowed to return to Nordlondon early.
Riccardo Calafiori and Jurrien Timber also left their respective national teams on schedule, but for the wrong reasons.
Calafiori seemed to be shooting his knee against Germany last Thursday during the Italian quarter-finals. The summer recruit has already missed 14 games with two separate knee injuries this season and is to endure another longer magic of the sidelines after it broke out for the lawn a week a week.
Timber did not even get to the field for the Netherlands. Ronald Koeman prevented the disease from naming the versatile defender in his squad to the Nations Knockout tie in Spain, and he was sent home before the chaotic second leg in Valencia on Sunday evening.
Arsenal is already without a full-back Takehiro Tomiyasu until the end of the season after the Japan national player had operated on because of a continuing knee injury. The strikers Kai Havertz and Gabriel Jesus will also only appear in the 2025/26 campaign, but there is hope that Bukayo Saka can achieve his long -awaited return in early April.
While the long absence of Arsenal’s first line of the first choice ultimately underpinned her failed title of Premier League title, Mikel Areteta has a wealth of full-back. Ben White’s return to fitness should compensate for the potential dismissal of Timber, and Myles Lewis-Skelly, fresh from a record-breaking debut for England against Albania, has probably risen in the ceremony of the club via Calafiori.
In their first game after the international break in the Premier League in London Rivals Fulham, the Gunners organize the Gunners.
