Arsenal boss Mikel Arteta has revealed that Gabriel Magalhaes will \u201cbe out for weeks\u201d after picking up an injury on international duty with Brazil.<\/p>\n
The centre-back has formed one of the best centre-back partnerships in world football with William Saliba at the Emirates Stadium.<\/p>\n
However, the brilliant duo will have to be broken up for \u201cweeks\u201d after he sustained a thigh injury for the Brazil national team last week.<\/p>\n
And now Arsenal<\/strong><\/a> boss Arteta has confirmed the bad news that Gabriel will miss a number of important fixtures with the 27-year-old set for another scan.<\/p>\n Speaking to reporters in a Friday pre-match press conference, Arteta said:\u00a0\u201cYeah Gabi unfortunately picked up an injury and he\u2019s going to be out for weeks. We need to have another scan next Wednesday and we will have the timeline much more clear.\u201d<\/p>\n On how was absence will impact his side, Arteta added: \u201cHe\u2019s our leader in our back line and it\u2019s never a positive thing. People have to stand up now and do their job.\u201d<\/p>\n READ:\u00a0The two ridiculous Arsenal facts which sum up Arteta contract transformation inspired by Liverpool \u2018goal\u2019<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n Arsenal, who lead the Premier League by four points from second-placed Manchester City, face arch-rivals Tottenham over the weekend and Arteta is looking forward to the North London Derby.<\/p>\n Arteta added: \u201cIt\u2019s just beautiful especially when we play at home. We know what the team will bring in every single action.<\/p>\n \u201cIt\u2019s a game that required something else, emotionally. You cannot be too hyped. The game demands that in every ball and every action, it needs that little bit more than any other game. On Sunday we need a really good performance.\u201d<\/p>\n Wayne Rooney revealed this week that Arsenal striker Viktor Gyokeres has made his top three Premier League players from the season so far.<\/p>\n MORE ARSENAL COVERAGE ON F365\u2026<\/strong> Rooney said on Amazon Prime: \u201cTop three, probably [Antoine] Semenyo. I think he\u2019s been brilliant for Bournemouth, carrying on his form from last season.<\/p>\n \u201cI\u2019d also put\u00a0Bryan Mbeumo\u00a0in there. I think he\u2019s been really good for Manchester United, even after a difficult start to the season for the club. I think he\u2019s been really good.<\/p>\n \u201cThe third one, I\u2019d probably go with Gyokeres. Arsenal have been crying out for a new number nine for a few years now and he\u2019s come in.<\/p>\n \u201cHis work-rate and his determination to hold up play\u00a0and he\u2019s obviously scoring a few goals as well so I\u2019d say that\u2019s my top three.\u201d<\/p>\n Reacting to Rooney\u2019s choice, Arteta said: \u201cI am really glad this is coming from someone like Wayne. It\u2019s not just related to the goals he hasn\u2019t scored, but the work he brings to the team, the way he opens the spaces for the other people.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Arsenal boss Mikel Arteta has revealed that Gabriel Magalhaes will \u201cbe out for weeks\u201d after picking up an…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":193845,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[3],"tags":[2725,9,10,18,13,14,107784,6,794,19,17,11,12,15,16,5003,5,795,7,8],"class_list":{"0":"post-193844","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-headlines","8":"tag-arsenal","9":"tag-breaking-news","10":"tag-breakingnews","11":"tag-eire","12":"tag-featured-news","13":"tag-featurednews","14":"tag-gabriel-magalhaes","15":"tag-headlines","16":"tag-home-page","17":"tag-ie","18":"tag-ireland","19":"tag-latest-news","20":"tag-latestnews","21":"tag-main-news","22":"tag-mainnews","23":"tag-mikel-arteta","24":"tag-news","25":"tag-premier-league","26":"tag-top-stories","27":"tag-topstories"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@ie\/115591694545923848","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/193844","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=193844"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/193844\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/193845"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=193844"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=193844"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=193844"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
