Gabriel Set for Return Ahead of Everton Match

Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta has provided a positive update on the potential return of defender Gabriel Magalhaes, who has missed the last three matches due to a hamstring injury. Gabriel trained on Friday and has a chance to play in Saturday's Premier League clash against Everton, which is crucial for Arsenal as they seek to close the gap on league leaders Liverpool. Arteta confirmed that while Gabriel is nearing a return, Riccardo Calafiori will not be available for the match but is also progressing towards fitness. The Gunners have managed to cope with Gabriel's absence, although they dropped points in a recent match against Fulham. Jakub Kiwior has filled in well, but the team's defensive injury crisis continues with other players like Oleksandr Zinchenko and Ben White sidelined. Arteta emphasized the importance of fielding a strong squad as Arsenal aims to maintain their title hopes.
