Gabriel Magalhaes has hinted at his availability for Arsenal’s crucial showdown with Manchester United on Wednesday. The defender, subbed at half-time during the 5-2 win over West Ham due to a muscular injury, reassured fans through an Instagram post: “Three points and we continue fighting together! See you on Wednesday!”

Gabriel, who has started all of Arsenal’s Premier League games this season and scored three goals, initially sustained the injury in the Champions League victory against Sporting Lisbon. Despite the setback, he played through pain and even scored Arsenal’s opener against West Ham before being substituted as a precaution.

Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta faces a mounting injury list, including Ben White, Takehiro Tomiyasu, Jurrien Timber, and Riccardo Calafiori. Meanwhile, Thomas Partey and Mikel Merino are also racing against time to be fit. However, there’s optimism surrounding Kieran Tierney’s return, as the left-back resumed training last week. Arsenal sits second in the Premier League, chasing leaders Liverpool.
