Overview
- The Brazilian federation said imaging showed a muscle injury in Gabriel Magalhães’s right thigh and he will not travel to Lille for Tuesday’s friendly against Tunisia.
- Gabriel limped off after 64 minutes of Brazil’s 2-0 win over Senegal at the Emirates, with Carlo Ancelotti noting an adductor problem and offering an apology.
- Arsenal will assess the centre-back on his return to London, and no official recovery timeline has been set despite outside suggestions he could face weeks out.
- Riccardo Calafiori has left Italy’s camp with a hip issue and returned to Arsenal for checks, with reports indicating the problem is considered minor.
- If Gabriel is unavailable for Tottenham on November 23, Mikel Arteta can pair William Saliba with Cristhian Mosquera or Piero Hincapié, as the defender has been ever-present in the league this season.
