The Arsenal defender is a starter for his national team when he is fit and is expected to be a regular when the competition kicks off.
However, he is struggling to participate in their warm-up games before the competition begins.
Ahead of their matches against the USA and Mexico, a report on UOL claims he is still unavailable.
The report discusses players who could step up to replace him, with Juventus’ Gleison Bremer and PSG’s Lucas Beraldo tipped to take his place in the upcoming games.
Gabriel is hopeful he will be fit when the competition starts, but if he does not recover in time to prepare for the tournament, he might lose his place on the team.
Just Arsenal Opinion
Gabriel has had a busy season, and he was an ever-present on our team in the last campaign.
It would be great for him to partake in the Copa America because Brazil has a very good chance of winning the competition.
If he returns to the dressing room as a South American champion, it will boost his confidence even further, and he will use that to help us win a trophy.

It would be better both for the player and the club if GM does not play in the Copa. He needs rest and recovery time to be fresh and fit for the next season.
How’s that better for the player?
Because he is not risking injury. For every player, although it is important to represent their respective nations at international level, fitness is also very important.
