Brazil team angers Arsenal

Arsenal's medical team was furious when key centre-back Gabriel Magalhaes was injured in the friendly match between Brazil and Senegal on the night of November 15.

Gabriel's injury comes at a sensitive time.

In the 64th minute at the Emirates Stadium, Gabriel felt pain in his groin and immediately signaled for a substitution. The 27-year-old player lay on the ground for a long time before limping off the field and being replaced by Wesley.

Sky Sports said Gabriel had been having problems before the match, having to warm up separately instead of joining the team. There were many signs that the Brazilian team was taking a risk and was not careful when deciding to let him start, which led to unwanted consequences.

Arsenal's anger was not only due to Gabriel's injury, but also the way Brazil handled the situation. Many fans and pundits criticized that with other central defenders like Militao, Alexsandro and Marquinhos present, Brazil could have taken Gabriel out of the squad to avoid the risk. Instead, they played him in a friendly.

After the match, coach Carlo Ancelotti confirmed that Arsenal's central defender had a problem with his adductor muscle: "He needs further examination tomorrow. We are very sorry and hope Gabriel will recover soon." The Brazilian captain also apologized to his home club Arsenal.

The incident has once again raised questions about the relationship between the club and the national team, as well as the issue of player health management in the context of a fierce season.

Gabriel's injury comes at a crucial time. He is a key part of Mikel Arteta's defence, forming a strong partnership with William Saliba.
