Mikel Arteta offers worrying Gabriel injury update ahead of Real Madrid clash


Arsenal Manager Mikel Areta has admitted his concern when Gunners lost both Gabriel Magalhaes and Jurria Timber Injury Against Fulham.

On Tuesday evening, Bukayo Saka returned his long-awaited return from his own injury to achieve the winner in the 2-1 victory of Arsenal, but fitness problems continue to plague the speceta side at the other end of the field.

After Ben White was excluded and Riccardo Calafiori injured the knee in the international service, the Arsenal fans were horrified by the sight of Gabriel, who only moved into a thigh injury on Tuesday after the game.

Timber, who recently overcome a attack of illness, was pressed against Real Madrid late in the second half against his defense options before the Champions League quarter -finals in the next week.

“We don’t know how they will be,” said Arteta about Gabriel and wood. “We will rate them tomorrow and better understand how we are with these two.

“If there are two players in this team who never want to put up with, they are probably these two. Gabi felt something in his knee, we don’t know how big it is.

“And also with Jurria. He fought in the game very early. He managed to continue and at some point he couldn’t. That is the disadvantage. Jurria was a knee [injury]. “

While he admitted that his disappointment to lose four defenders in a week against injuries in one week, existed, stated that arsenal had gained a lot of experience in the struggle against injury crises.

“The good thing is that it was like this all the season,” said Areta. “You see [Gabriel] Martinelli today we missed him for three months. You see Bukayo, four months. Quay [Havertz] Four months, Gabi Jesus almost all of the season.

“How we managed to be where we are with all these injuries … Ben White did not take part in this season. But it is what it is. But we want it so much that we will really give it. We lose four players in the line of defense in a week in one week: Calafiori, Ben White, Jurrien and Gabi. We have another four more four, which have more to do.”
