Arsenal are set to face Spanish giants Real Madrid next week. Ahead of the important game, they have received a massive blow. This will increase the troubles of Mikel Arteta who already has lost major trophies due to injury prone season.
Gunners have already lost FA Cup & Carabao Cup this season. They are also far away from winning the Premier League title. Their only hope of winning a major title this season is in Champions League. However, they are now handed a massive blow which will decrease their winning percentage.
Arsenal hit hard again by Injury to main superstar
Mikel Arteta has lost many of his main players this season due to injuries. The Spaniard has been playing without a proper striker right now. In addition, Bukayo Saka was also missing for many days. Saka returned recently and scored too which came as a big boost ahead of UCL clash. But, in the same game another main player suffered injury.
The star in question is Gabriel Magalhaes who had to leave the pitch after only 16 minutes against Fulham. The Brazilian was looking in serious pain and was unable to continue. The tests have been carried out and the results have not came in Arsenal’s favours.
Arsenal have confirmed on their official website that the Brazilian has suffered a hamstring injury. He will undergo surgery and hence will be out for the rest of the season. The 27 year old will start his recovery process immediately after surgery in hope to come back stronger next season.

This is the last thing Arsenal fans would have expected ahead of UCL clash. Gabriel has been the main pillar of their defence alongside William Saliba. Losing him will leave a huge void in the backline. Fortunately, Arteta has many other defenders who can serve as backup for the Brazilian.
