How long Gabriel Magalhaes could be out with injury after picking up hamstring problem in Arsenal vs Fulham match

Gabriel Magalhaes suffered a hamstring injury in Arsenal’s win over Fulham and the potential severity of the issue has been assessed.

🧸The Gunners defeated Fulham 2-1 to close the gap on Liverpool to nine points, however, the Brazilian’s injury certainly put a damper on the victory.

Mikel Arteta’s🧜 team face some crucial matches over the coming weeks, especially their Champions League quarter-final tie against Real Madrid.

꧃Losing the Brazilian for their clash with Los Blancos would represent a major blow for the North London club’s hopes of progressing.

How long could Gabriel Magalhaes miss with hamstring injury?

Gabriel Magalhaes🐻 will need scans to reveal how bad his injury is, but typically, sprinting mechanisms tend to result in a hamstring strain, according to injury expert Physio Scout on X.

If just tightnessLess than a week
If grade 12-4 weeks
If grade 24-6 weeks
Gabriel’s potential recovery times

The recovery time for a hamstring injury can vary, therefore, it’s tricky to give an actual timeframe before proper assessments have been made. ꦺArteta confirms Gabriel will be assessed on Wednesday.

🧸But given the fact that the 27-year-old pulled up after chasing the ball, an injury after that type of action tends to be a muscle strain rather than just tightness.

🥂Tightness would likely mean he could be ready for the first-leg against Real Madrid, a grade one strain would leave his involvement in the tie in doubt and a grade two would almost certainly rule him out of both legs.

༒Tim Sherwood was certain Gabriel’s injury was a long-term issue and is fearful that the defender will now be unavailable for the Champions League quarters. 🐠Jakub Kiwior looks set to replace him against Madrid.

What is Arsenal’s record with vs without Gabriel Magalhaes?

👍It’s pretty clear even without the data that losing Gabriel would be a major blow for the Gunners, but the numbers certainly back it up.
