Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta has provided an update on Gabriel’s knee injury, stating that it is not as severe as initially feared. Arteta mentioned that the club is still in the process of evaluating the defender’s condition, but early assessments suggest the injury is not serious. However, he cautioned that it is too soon to determine the exact duration of Gabriel’s absence from the squad.
Arsenal’s Injury Concerns
Arsenal has been dealing with a series of injury challenges recently. Just days ago, Arteta expressed uncertainty regarding Bukayo Saka’s availability for the upcoming match against Liverpool. Additionally, the team has been managing injuries to other key players, including Martin Ødegaard, who is expected to return before November, and Kai Havertz.
Arteta’s Approach
Despite the injury setbacks, Arteta remains composed and focused on navigating the challenges. He has previously stated that he is unfazed by the injury issues facing the team, indicating confidence in the squad’s depth and resilience. As Arsenal continues to assess Gabriel’s situation, the club will be hoping for a swift recovery to bolster their defensive options.
