The injury report for Arsenal’s North London Derby
Football London notes that Gabriel, the centre defender for Arsenal, suffered an ankle injury in the closing moments of their 5-0 victory over Chelsea.
The Brazilian is reportedly doubtful for this weekend’s match. Jurrien Timber, meanwhile, made his long-awaited comeback this week when he played for Arsenal’s Under-21 team against Blackburn on Monday.
However, it’s possible that he won’t play for the senior team again until next month.
