Arsenal defender Gabriel Magalhaes is a potential absentee for Saturday’s Premier League fixture against West Ham United after sustaining an injury in the Champions League victory over Sporting

Gabriel Magalhaes has taken to social media after the Arsenal defender was forced off late with injury against Sporting CP. The centre-back was immense as the Gunners smashed five past the Portuguese side on Tuesday night in the Champions League.

Arsenal and Arteta now faces an anxious wait to see whether Gabriel will recover in time to take to the pitch against West Ham on Saturday night. With Ben White already sidelined in the long term, Arteta will want to avoid further tinkering with his established backline.
