Gabriel
27-Year-Old
Arsenal
Premier
OUT
Injury Thigh
Est. Return 1/3/2026
Out rest of 2025
Gabriel (thigh) is out for the rest of 2025, according to Sami Mokbel of the BBC.
ANALYSIS
Gabriel was already trending towards an absence leading into the new year, and that seems to now be confirmed, as the Brazilian will wait until 2026 to get on the field again. This will leave William Saliba and Piero Hincapie to lead the center of the defense in upcoming matches, with Cristhian Mosquera also out until 2026. The hope will be that his absence doesn't extend more than a week or two into 2026, with the club trying to defend their chase of a title and needing their top defender to do so.

Not yet fit
Gabriel (thigh) is out for Sunday's match against Chelsea as expected, according to manager Mikel Arteta. "Not yet. I think he's evolving really, really well. 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.
