Gabriel
28-Year-Old
Arsenal
Premier
OUT
Injury Thigh
Est. Return 12/30/2025
Still not training
Gabriel (thigh) is not expected to be available against Brighton on Saturday, manager Mikel Arteta told media during Friday's press conference. "We'll have to wait and see. He hasn't trained yet, he's still doing his rehab. But hopefully as quickly as possible because we know the situation that we have in the back line."
ANALYSIS
Arsenal's situation in the backline might lead to Gabriel returning to action as quickly as possible, but it doesn't sound as if he'll be available to face Brighton. A return against Aston Villa on Dec. 30 might look more likely as long as he's able to log one or two training sessions in the coming days.

Not yet fit

We have to wait for that scan a little bit longer to be more precise in terms of the timings. But I'm quite confident, especially the way Gabi takes every injury and the way he's going to push everybody, that it's not going to be that long."

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Al-Nassr to make move?
Al-Nassr are expected to make a move for Gabriel in the summer transfer window, according to GiveMeSport.
ANALYSIS
Al-Nassr are looking to bolster their defensive line in the summer, and they have identified the Arsenal center-back as one of their top targets. That said, signing him won't be easy. Not only because he'll be extremely expensive but also because Gabriel doesn't have any intention to depart the London-based club.
