Arsenal‘s Brazilian defender Gabriel Magalhães has left the national team camp. He injured himself during a friendly match between Brazil and Senegal at Arsenal’s home ground, the Emirates, yesterday. As a result, he will not play in the upcoming friendly match against Tunisia in France. No replacements have been called up to the team for his position.
The injury of a player who has been in excellent form this season raises concerns for Arsenal. The club hopes the injury is not serious. Currently, it appears he will miss the North London Derby against Tottenham next week. Another Arsenal defender, Ricardo Calafiori, has returned to Arsenal from the Italian national team and is reported to be injury-free after club tests.
