Arsenal could be without key defender Gabriel Magalhães for their Champions League quarter-final against Real Madrid after the Brazilian suffered a hamstring injury in Tuesday’s 2-1 win over Fulham.
Gabriel limped off early in the match, adding to Mikel Arteta’s growing injury woes.
Dutch full-back Jurrien Timber also had to be withdrawn in the second half due to a knee issue, further complicating Arsenal’s defensive options.
Both players will undergo assessments to determine the severity of their injuries.
Arteta expressed frustration over Arsenal’s recent defensive setbacks, with Riccardo Calafiori, Ben White, and Takehiro Tomiyasu already sidelined.
Meanwhile, forwards Kai Havertz and Gabriel Jesus remain out with long-term injuries.
With a trip to Everton up next before their crucial clash against Real Madrid on April 8, Arteta will be hoping for positive news as Arsenal aim to keep their Champions League hopes alive.
