Arsenal could be without several star players when they face West Ham in the Premier League this evening. The Gunners go into the fixture one point behind second-placed Manchester City in the table and nine adrift of leaders Liverpool.
Mikel Arteta and Co. have the chance to move up to second in the standings with a win over the Hammers ahead of the top-of-the-table clash between Liverpool and City on Sunday afternoon at Anfield. Tuesday night saw Arsenal extend their winning run as they beat Sporting Lisbon in the Champions League following their top-flight victory over Nottingham Forest a few days earlier.
Arsenal will now be looking to get back-to-back wins in the Premier League for the first time since before the October international break. However, Arteta may be without several first-team stars for the trip to the London Stadium.
Gabriel Magalhaes is an injury doubt for the Gunners after picking up a knock in the closing minutes of the win over Sporting. Arteta stated that Arsenal must "wait and see" before determining if the centre-back is available to face West Ham.
Arsenal posted several photos of their Friday training session, but there was no sign of Gabriel. It's possible that the Brazilian may have been in the session or taking part in a programme away from the first-team group, but his absence has only intensified the speculation that he will be unavailable for the clash against the Hammers.
Elsewhere, Ben White remains sidelined as he recovers after undergoing a minor procedure earlier this month on a knee injury. Takehiro Tomiyasu is also expected to be unavailable to face West Ham due to injury.
