Gabriel is a hugely important player for the Gunners, and it seems he’s now recovering with an ice pack and heavy strapping on his knee, according to Benge.
See below for details on what Arsenal fans will hope doesn’t end up being too serious an injury as they’re already so depleted…

Arsenal have also had to cope without Martin Odegaard for long periods this season, while Bukayo Saka missed a few games before returning today, while William Saliba has also been suspended for today’s match.
Jurrien Timber also went off injured, meaning that, together with the knock to Gabriel, Arsenal are playing a back four of Thomas Partey, Ben White, Jakub Kiwior and Myles Lewis-Skelly, which, needless to say, is a long way from being their first choice defensive unit.

It’s hard to know for now how bad this looks for Gabriel, but it was clear he couldn’t keep playing for Arsenal today, so fans will undoubtedly be concerned.
Arteta will hope to have some kind of update after the game, but it’s also fair to say that AFC have decent depth in that area of the pitch.
