Friday, April 4, 2025 - Arsenal have confirmed that Gabriel Magalhães requires surgery on his injured hamstring and will miss the rest of the season in a major blow before the first leg of their Champions League quarter-final against Real Madrid on Tuesday.
The Brazil defender limped off after 16 minutes of
Arsenal’s 2-1 win over Fulham on Tuesday, with Mikel Arteta stating
after the match that the player had “felt something in his hamstring”. Gabriel
was sent for scans on Wednesday.
“We can confirm that Gabriel Magalhães has sustained a
hamstring injury which requires surgery,” an Arsenal statement said.
“Gabi will undergo a surgical repair procedure to his
hamstring in the coming days, and immediately begin his recovery and
rehabilitation programme, with the aim to be ready for the start of next
season.”
Gabriel has been one of Arsenal’s outstanding performers
this season and his absence leaves Arteta with major problems before Saturday’s
trip to Everton in the Premier League and Tuesday’s game at home to Madrid.
Jakub Kiwior deputised for Gabriel against Fulham. The versatile Jurriën Timber
was also forced off with a knee injury and it is not known whether he will
return.
