Mikel Arteta has confirmed that Gabriel will be doubtful to be available for Arsenal's next game following the Chelsea showdown.
The defender had to come off the pitch after playing 85 minutes versus the Blues in the 3 - 1 London derby win. He experienced multiple instances of pain and had to be substituted in place of Rob Holding. This left Arteta without his two top center-backs during a critical moment in the season.
Following Tuesday's match, Arteta was asked about Gabriel's fitness, claiming that the player was not feeling comfortable and suggesting that the 25-year-old's injury may be serious.
"He wasn’t comfortable, he tried for 15 minutes but he couldn’t carry on which was a concern," the Gunners' manager said.
