Arsenal face Gabriel Magalhaes injury concern
Arsenal have been handed a fresh injury concern for defender Gabriel Magalhaes after their win over Sporting CP.
The defender scored a huge goal for the Gunners on the brink of half-time to take full control of the game.
He made several key contributions in the defensive phase, blocking out Viktor Gyokeres, but he was unable to finish the game.
Gabriel was subbed off late in the match, with journalist Charles Watts confirming that the Brazilian was set to undergo an assessment on Tuesday.
There is uncertainty over when there will be an update on the star and his availability for the weekend.

Real Madrid response to Arda Guler transfer
Arsenal continue to be linked with a potential transfer for Real Madrid star Arda Guler, who has struggled since moving to Spain.
The Turkish international has found it tough for minutes so far at Los Blancos, despite showing plenty of potential.
Guler could offer some depth for the Gunners, which had proven to be a problem with Martin Odegaard’s injury issues.
However, according to Fabrizio Romano, Real Madrid have made their stance clear on the youngster and any potential deal.
He said on his YouTube channel: “Real Madrid [have] always said no, now once again already two weeks ago, three weeks ago, Real Madrid keep rejecting any approach for Arda Guler.
“No interest in loaning him out, no interest in selling him, believing that they signed a fantastic talent with Arda Guler.”
