ARSENAL DEFENDER GABRIEL TO MISS REST OF SEASON – He underwent a surgery on his hamstring
Arsenal defender Gabriel will sit out the rest of the season after undergoing a surgery on his hamstring, the Premier League club said in what will be a major blow to Mikel Arteta’s side.
Gabriel went down injured in the early stages of Arsenal’s 2-1 win over Fulham on Tuesday and was substituted immediately.
“Gabi will undergo a surgical repair procedure to his hamstring in the coming days, and immediately begin his recovery and rehabilitation programme, with the aim to be ready for the start of next season,” Arsenal said in a statement.
Arsenal were already without defenders Riccardo Calafiori, Ben White and Takehiro Tomiyasu while Jurrien Timber also came off with a knee issue. Arsenal are 12 points behind Liverpool in the Premier League title race while they host Real Madrid in the first leg of the Champions League quarter-finals next week.
