Guardian: Gabriel could be out for at least a month, depending on the severity of the injury

November 19 According to the British media "The Guardian", Arsenal defender Gabriel may be injured for at least a month.

Gabriel limped off the field in Brazil's friendly win over Senegal last week. This week, he returned to the club for further examination and it was confirmed that he had a strained right thigh muscle. Arsenal have yet to confirm how long Gabriel will be out, but he is not expected to feature in Sunday's north London derby with Tottenham and the Champions League clash with Bayern three days later. Next, Arsenal will face Chelsea, Brentford, Villa, Club Brugge, Wolves, and Everton.

There are concerns that Gabriel may be absent for at least a month, or even longer, depending on the severity of the injury. For Arsenal, losing a player who has played every minute of the Premier League this season is undoubtedly a heavy blow, especially considering Gabriel's importance to the team's defense. Arsenal only conceded 5 goals in 11 league games. Mosquera and Inkapier are expected to replace Gabriel against Tottenham.

In addition, there are concerns about whether Jocles can return to the starting lineup. The forward missed Arsenal's last two games before the international break due to a hamstring injury. Separately, Germany coach Nagelsmann revealed on Tuesday that Havertz suffered a "slight relapse" while recovering from a knee injury, after Arteta had hoped the striker could return this weekend. "But overall, he's recovering well," Nagelsmann said. "He is expected to return before the end of the year."
