Gabriel Magalhaes is an injury doubt for Arsenal ’s Premier League match against Crystal Palace on Sunday.

Mikel Arteta has revealed that the Brazilian centre-back suffered ‘an issue’ during Arsenal’s 4-0 win against Atletico Madrid in the Champions League on Tuesday night.

The 27-year-old has been one of Arsenal’s standout performers this season and has played a key role in helping the Gunners keep five clean sheets in the Premier League so far this season.

Speaking at his press conference on Friday, Mikel Arteta said: ‘Gabi had to leave the pitch with an issue, and he hasn’t been able to train yet.

‘So, let’s see how he evolves in the next 24 hours, whether he’s available or not for the weekend.’
