Overview
- Gabriel limped off for Brazil against Senegal after 64 minutes at the Emirates, with Carlo Ancelotti saying the adductor issue will be checked and offering an apology.
- Independent analyst Physio Scout suggested the signs are consistent with a possible Grade 2 groin injury and a rough three-to-six-week absence, though Arsenal have not confirmed a timeline.
- Riccardo Calafiori left Italy camp with a hip issue but is expected to be available next week, according to Fabrizio Romano, after Gennaro Gattuso sent him back to London as a precaution.
- Reports outline defensive contingencies that include Piero Hincapie potentially making his first Premier League start, a shift for Jurrien Timber to left-back, or minutes for Cristhian Mosquera.
- Tottenham’s Pape Matar Sarr was also substituted with an injury in the same friendly and will require assessment ahead of the north London derby.
