Arsenal defender Gabriel Magalhaes has withdrawn from the Brazil squad as a precaution ahead of their friendly against England. Gabriel, expected to start in the match, trained briefly with the squad at Arsenal’s London Colney training base before deciding to withdraw to recover fully from an injury concern. The injury is not believed to be related to a recent minor foot issue Gabriel has been managing.
Brazil manager Dorival Junior confirmed Gabriel’s withdrawal, stating that Juventus’ Bremer would replace him in the squad. Gabriel’s absence is a concern for Arsenal, especially with a crucial Premier League clash against Manchester City approaching on March 31. Gabriel has been a key player for Arsenal this season, forming a solid partnership with William Saliba in defense.
Gabriel joins a list of Arsenal players working towards full fitness, including Gabriel Martinelli, Thomas Partey, Ben White, and Jurrien Timber. Martinelli missed out on the Brazil squad due to a foot injury, while Partey continues his recovery from a thigh problem. White opted not to join the England squad, and Timber is nearing a return from a long-term ACL injury. After the City game, Arsenal will face Luton and Brighton before their Champions League quarter-final first leg against Bayern Munich at the Emirates Stadium.
