Arsenal retains his breath. Ten days from the Champions League quarter-final first leg against Real Madrid, the Gunners may have lost a key defense element. Gabriel, a pillar of the London rearguard, left injured in the 15th minute of the match against Fulham this Tuesday evening trying to return to an opposing counter-attack. Hit in the hamstrings, the Brazilian had to leave the field prematurely, visibly touched: ” Gabriel felt something in his hamstrings, we do not know what his gravity is “Said Mikel Arteta on this subject after the meeting.
This injury falls in the worst moment for Arsenal, who may have to face the Merengues without his most regular central defender. Already deprived of Riccardo Calafiori, Arteta sees its defensive sector weaken a little more. Especially since Jurriën Timber, also affected against Fulham, had to be replaced in the second half. The Spanish coach, aware of the many physical seeds that occurred this season, wanted to appease the situation: ” The good side is that it was like that all season. We have always been able to adapt. »Very bad omen before challenging the reigning European champion.
