Arsenal suffered a heavy blow! It was revealed that Gabe was injured for 4 weeks, and two new signings in the summer window are expected to be available.

On November 19, according to a report by BBC Sport, Gabriel is expected to be absent for at least four weeks, but if the injury is serious, he may be absent until January next year. This means that Arsenal's star defender will miss a series of key games, including important games against Tottenham, Bayern Munich and Chelsea.

In Brazil's friendly match against Senegal, Gabriel suffered a thigh injury and was forced to leave the game. Gabriel looked in pain when he left the field. He had previously trained separately due to load management, but the Brazilian coaching staff still chose to start the game, which caused dissatisfaction with Arsenal's management.

The Brazilian Football Federation issued a statement saying: "Arsenal player Gabriel was re-evaluated this Sunday and underwent imaging examinations, which revealed an injury to his right thigh muscle. Therefore, the ball was The player will not travel with the team to Lille for the game against Tunisia, and no other players will be recruited to replace him. "

At the club level, the Arsenal defense formed by Gabriel and Saliba is a world-class central defender partnership. This season, Gabriel has maintained full attendance in all important games such as the Premier League and Champions League. According to Sky Sports statistics, Arsenal's winning rate dropped by as much as 24% without Gabriel. Since September 2020, of the 171 games Gabe has played for Arsenal, Arsenal has won 110, with a winning rate of 64%. In the 30 games Gabe has missed, Arsenal has 12 wins, 10 draws and 8 losses, and the winning rate has dropped to 40%. The gap is obvious.

After the news of Gabriel's injury came out, many fans were worried that Arsenal would collapse in the upcoming intensive schedule. However, Arteta does not seem too worried about this problem because he made targeted reinforcements during the summer window signings. On Arsenal's bench, two new central defenders, Inkapier and Mosquera, will compete for the vacancy left by Gabriel.

Ecuador international Incapie can play as a central defender or left back. While playing for Leverkusen, he served as the absolute main force and won the Bundesliga championship with the team. In the eyes of many fans, Inkapier is Gabriel's natural replacement. However, the 23-year-old has only received two starts so far. He suffered a groin injury after joining Arsenal, which affected his integration speed.

The young star Mosquera is also very powerful. Previously, when Saliba was injured, Mosquera had served as Arsenal's main central defender many times and performed outstandingly against top opponents. Despite being right-footed, he often played as a left-sided central defender during his time at Valencia. Mosquera has also played alongside Saliba this season, with the two starting together in the League Cup tie against Porterville in September.

In addition, Arteta can also choose to use Calafiore as a central defender. However, Calafio has firmly occupied the left-back position this season and is often placed in a very advanced position in Arteta's system. If he were moved to centre-back, Skelly would likely step in at left-back, but Arteta may not be willing to make two moves for the centre-back position.

All in all, Gabriel's injury has a great impact on Arsenal, but fortunately the team has backup options. The two new players, Inkapiye and Mosquera, can just seize the opportunity to show their talents. Compared to the defensive end, injuries to players on the offensive end worry Guns fans more. Germany coach Nagelsmann has provided an update on Havertz's injury following the injury to Jokeres. The injured Arsenal star is not expected to return until the end of the year, one month later than expected. This also means that the Gunners have to trust Jesus, who has returned from injury, at the center position.
