Gabriel injury update issued by Mikel Arteta as Arsenal suffer Real Madrid nightmare
Arsenal star Gabriel will undergo tests on a suspected hamstring injury as Mikel Arteta faces a nervous wait to learn whether the defender will be fit to face Real Madrid next week. Gabriel looked uncomfortable and clutched his hamstring as he hobbled off just 15 minutes into the Gunners’ 2-1 win over Fulham.
The Brazilian is a doubt for the first leg of Arsenal’s Champions League quarter-final against Los Blancos. He pulled up in apparent agony after sprinting back to his own half to defend a Fulham attack. Arteta, who also saw Jurrien Timber go off late on after suffering an issue with his knee in the first half, will be desperate to avoid any long-term absence.
