Arsenal could be without Gabriel Magalhaes for their weekend game against Nottingham Forest after he limped home following their loss to PSV yesterday.
The Brazilian was rested at the start of the match and only entered as a substitute for Kieran Tierney in the second half.
Yet, when the Gunners left the pitch, a report on Football London says he was limping.
Arsenal will hope it is nothing serious, but even if it is a minor problem, they might be forced to rest him for the game against Forest to avoid aggravating whatever issue he has now.
The Brazilian has been a mainstay on our team and has not had a bad day yet, which will make Arsenal miss him if he has to spend a few days on the sidelines.
Just Arsenal Opinion
Mikel Arteta rested Gabriel from that start to lower the risk of him getting injured, so the Spanish boss will be unhappy to see him limp after the fixture.
We hope it is a minor problem, but for now, other defenders must be ready to step up and deliver if he does not play our next game.
Forest will come into the game full of confidence after beating Liverpool in their last fixture.

If unfortunately Magalhaes becomes unable to start our Nott For match on Sunday. I think Arteta may switch back White to central defence to pait Saliba at the heart of the Arsenal defence for the match. And Tomiyasu and Zinchenko if he’s fit to start will both start the match at right-fullback and left-fullback in the match respectively for Arsenal.
And from all indications, if Arteta does make this minor defence reshulfment for Nott For. Our defense-line for the match will not only look sorted for the match in my own opinion. But will still remain very strong to successfully deal with any Nott For attacking threats including aerial ones in the match. And thwart them all off to beat them and beat them.
Needless I should say that Arsenal have both the more than capable midfielders and forwards who can attack and also defend to protect and score the necessary goals that are needed to beat Nottingham Forest in the match. And I trust the Gunners will score those goals and beat them.
