Arsenal Buthing Woes worsened Tuesday when a crucial star of the first team was forced to win just 16 minutes from his premier League confrontation against Fulham.
Mikel Arteta, who sails in a difficult attack on attack in attack since the beginning of the year, was forced to an early change after Gabriel Magalhaes struck the lawn with an alleged problem of the hamstrings.
The hammer blow comes a week before the first stage of the huge quarter -final of the Arsenal Champions League against Real Madrid.
Jakub Kiwior was called upon to replace Gabriel and his partner William Saliba in the heart of Arsenal’s defense against Fulham, with Myles Lewis-Skelly and Jurrien Timber from Emirates in the night.
Arsenal fans had hoped that club wounds were behind them after the Gunners star confirmed that Artea, the man, Bukayo Saka, had returned from his injury to the hamstrings, naming him on the bench against the chalets.
“Bukayo is ready to leave,” said Arteta at his press conference on Monday. “All prudent things are already done, so it is now a question of putting it on the grass in the right times, but it grows because it wants it.

This marks a major blow for Mikel Arteta just a week from their confrontation against Real Madrid
The Brazilian defender struck the lawn and held his head, before dropping in the 16th minute
“We respected the deadline, we did everything, we had to hold it even. So he is ready to leave.
But Gabriel’s injury marks an important setback for the Spanish manager, who has played the Brazilian in 41 games in all competitions this campaign so far.
While helping the Gunners to carve out the best defensive record of the Premier League so far, Gabriel has also been a fatal weapon of the sets, with five goals in total.
The other defenders Takehiro Tomiyasu and Riccardo Calafiori went out with long -term injuries, while the attackers Gabriel Jesus and Kai Havertz are also on the treatment table a week from the first stage in the Emirates.
Gabriel has spent the last two weeks in international service with Brazil and participated in the country’s 2-1 victory against Colombia during a world cup qualifier in 2026 last Friday.
However, the half-center was not selected on Wednesday against the bitter rivals of Argentina, which triumphed 4-1 on Brazil on the ground at home.
