Worse than expected? Arsenal fear Gabriel could be sidelined for one or two months with injury

Arsenal have launched the season in excellent form, showing authority both in attack and defence. But the London club now face worrying news.

Details: According to The Athletic, the Gunners are continuing to assess the condition of their centre-back. Arsenal fear that Gabriel may miss between one and two months. Early indications suggest the defender is out for a spell, though testing is still ongoing.

This season, Gabriel has made 17 appearances across all competitions, scoring two goals and supplying three assists.

Earlier we reported that Gabriel pulled up mid-sprint during Brazil’s defensive transition, immediately reaching toward the upper inside of his thigh (the groin/adductor area). Carlo Ancelotti confirmed it is an adductor injury, and a thorough examination was scheduled.

Reminder: Riccardo Calafiori, who missed Italy’s match against Moldova with a thigh issue, has been ruled out of the final qualifier for the 2026 World Cup against Norway.
