Gabriel Magalhaes, the talented defender for Arsenal, suffered an injury last week during their match against Liverpool. However, the Gunners are optimistic that he will be available for their upcoming Premier League game against Newcastle United this afternoon.
Unfortunately, Arsenal has been facing a series of defensive injuries and absences in recent weeks. They will have to face Newcastle without the suspended William Saliba, who will also miss the game against Chelsea on November 10th due to a red card he received in their loss to Bournemouth.
Gabriel's partner in the back, Gabriel Magalhaes, had to be substituted off during their 2-2 draw with Liverpool due to a tussle with Darwin Nunez. He initially tried to continue playing, but was later replaced after feeling discomfort in the back of his knee.
The Brazilian defender was not included in the squad for their Carabao Cup game against Preston on Wednesday, with manager Mikel Arteta stating that the injury doesn't seem too serious. In fact, Arteta is optimistic that Gabriel will be able to play a role in the game against Newcastle.
However, there are concerns about another defender, Ben White, who played the full game against Liverpool but was not included in the squad for the Preston game. Arteta revealed that White was struggling towards the end of the Liverpool game and a decision will be made on his availability for the Newcastle game.
There was also worry about Jurrien Timber, who had to be substituted off in the second half of their game against Arne Slot's side. However, he was able to play the full 90 minutes at right-back in the Preston game.
In terms of other injuries, Riccardo Calafiori will be out for a few weeks while Martin Odegaard is still recovering from an ankle injury. Arsenal captain Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang has resumed light training, but will not be available for the Newcastle game.
Fans can expect to see a strong lineup from Arsenal this weekend, with players such as Thomas Partey, Bukayo Saka, and Kai Havertz in the mix. The game will kick off at 12:30pm on Saturday and can be watched on TNT Sports 1 and TNT Sports Ultimate, with a live stream available on the Discovery+ app.
