Arsenal have been given cause for concern after Gabriel Magalhaes appeared to suffer an injury on his Brazil debut.<\/p>\n
The defender started as Brazil secured a 5-1 victory over Bolivia in a World Cup qualifier.<\/p>\n
However, Gabriel had to be withdrawn in the 84th minute, with Al-Ahli’s Roger Ibanez replacing him.<\/p>\n
Gabriel was then seen with an ice pack on his thigh in what Arsenal will hope is a precaution.<\/p>\n
It remains to be seen whether Gabriel will be able to feature when Brazil face Peru away on Wednesday.<\/p>\n

The defender was seen with an ice pack on his thigh after he was substituted against Bolivia<\/p>\n
Neymar missed a penalty against Bolivia but still managed to score two goals.<\/p>\n
Rodrygo also hit a brace for Brazil, with Raphinha also getting on the scoresheet.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n
Gabriel had previously featured for Brazil at youth level and was an unused substitute for the senior team on four occasions.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The 25-year-old, who produced some excellent performances for Arsenal, had been linked with a move away from the Gunners during the summer transfer window.<\/p>\n
However, he remains part of Mikel Arteta’s plans and was restored to the starting lineup for the victory over Manchester United.<\/p>\n
In total Gabriel has played 122 games for Arsenal since he joined from Lille in 2020.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta will hope for a positive update regarding Gabriel’s fitness<\/p>\n
