Mikel Arteta has provided an update on Gabriel Magalhaes' injury, stating that the Brazilian defender may be available for Arsenal's upcoming match against Everton on Saturday. Gabriel has been absent from the team's last three matches, having been forced off during their 5-2 win against West Ham on November 30.
Earlier this week, Arteta revealed that Gabriel is dealing with a muscular injury and the team's busy schedule has made it challenging for him to recover quickly. However, in his press conference on Friday, Arteta shared that Gabriel has been making progress and could potentially make a return soon. He also mentioned that Riccardo, another member of the team, is also working towards regaining fitness.
When asked about the possibility of Calafiori's return, Arteta stated that they are following the medical department's timeline and will continue to monitor his progress on a daily basis. Although he is not completely ready yet, he is getting closer to being fit.
Arsenal has been in good form lately, winning all but one of their last six games in all competitions. They currently sit in third place in the Premier League, six points behind leaders Liverpool, who have a game in hand. On the other hand, Everton recently ended their five-game winless streak with a 4-0 victory against Wolves on December 4.
As the two teams prepare to face each other on Saturday, Everton has had more time to rest and recover as their Merseyside derby against Liverpool was postponed last weekend due to Storm Darragh. It will be an exciting match to watch as both teams look to continue their positive momentum and secure a win.
