Gabriel

Gabriel was injured and subbed out in the 77th minute of Tuesday's 4-1 victory versus Aston Villa. He scored one goal to go with one shot (one on goal) before exiting the match.

Gabriel has taken part in regular practice after returning from a thigh injury as a substitute in last weekend's win over Brighton.

Gabriel (thigh) is on the bench for Saturday's game against Brighton.

Gabriel (thigh) is not expected to be available against Brighton on Saturday, manager Mikel Arteta told media during Friday's press conference. "We'll have to wait and see. He hasn't trained yet, he's still doing his rehab. But hopefully as quickly as possible because we know the situation that we have in the back line."

Gabriel (thigh) is not too far from making his return to the match squad, coach Mikel Arteta said in the press conference. "He's pushing hard, as he always does every time he's out, and he's evolving really well. He's doing pitch sessions, so he's not too far. We have to see in the next stages of that rehab, how he progresses, but we are quite positive about it."
