Arsenal Defender Gabriel Exits Match Injured

Arsenal's defensive crisis deepened during their match against Liverpool as key defender Gabriel Magalhaes was forced off the pitch due to injury in the second half. After initially attempting to continue following a collision with Darwin Nunez, Gabriel ultimately had to be substituted for Jakub Kiwior. This injury compounds Arsenal's existing woes, with captain Martin Odegaard and other defenders already sidelined, including William Saliba who was suspended for the match. The severity of Gabriel's injury is not yet clear, but scans will be conducted to assess the situation, raising concerns for Arsenal's upcoming fixtures against Newcastle and further matches. The team's defensive lineup has already been stretched thin, and losing Gabriel for an extended period would be a significant setback in their Premier League title race against Manchester City.
