Arsenal<\/a> defender Gabriel Magalhaes<\/a> is a major doubt for next Sunday’s north London derby after being sent home from international duty with an injury.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The towering defender had to be withdrawn midway through Brazil’s 2-0 victory against Senegal on Saturday after going down clutching his thigh.\u00a0<\/p>\n

He appeared in some discomfort as he trudged towards the dugout flanked by medical staff in concerning scenes for Gunners fans.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Tests have now revealed that Gabriel suffered ‘a muscle injury in his right thigh’, meaning he won’t travel with Brazil to Lille for their friendly against Tunisia on Tuesday.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The defender will instead return to Arsenal’s north London training ground for treatment.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Gabriel may well therefore miss his club side’s clash with fierce rivals Tottenham<\/a> Hotspur at the Emirates next weekend.\u00a0<\/p>\n

It’s now been confirmed that Gabriel suffered a muscular injury in his right thigh<\/p>\n

Giving an early update on his player’s injury after Brazil’s win in London, Carlo Ancelotti said: ‘I don’t know what happened, he had a problem with his thigh.<\/p>\n

‘The medical staff have to check tomorrow. I’m really disappointed he’s got an injury. I hope he recovers well and soon.’<\/p>\n

Gabriel’s injury comes at arguably the worst possible time for Mikel Arteta’s Arsenal, who face a crucial few weeks with games against Spurs, Bayern Munich and Chelsea to come after the international break.\u00a0<\/p>\n

They currently sit top of the league and four points clear of Manchester City, who are in blistering form heading towards the festive period.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Gabriel, along with centre-half partner William Saliba, has enjoyed an impressive start to the season.<\/p>\n

Arsenal have conceded a mere five Premier League goals thus far and kept clean sheets in seven of their 11 games.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Gabriel’s been key to such success but has also contributed going forward. He’s scored twice for Arteta’s men already this season in their bid to win a first Premier League title for more than 20 years.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n
