Arteta Issues Update on Gabriel’s Knock After FA Cup Exit
Arsenal’s FA Cup run came to an end after a late Shea Charles strike sealed a 2-1 defeat against Southampton. Ross Stewart had opened the scoring from a Ben White error, before Viktor Gyökeres levelled for the Gunners. The result was compounded when centre-back Gabriel Magalhaes went off in the 73rd minute with a knee problem. He was later seen applying ice to his right knee after requesting the substitution. In the post-match press conference, Mikel Arteta admitted Gabriel “felt something” and conceded it was “not ideal” when a player asks to be replaced. Arsenal now face a hectic schedule, starting with a Champions League quarter-final first leg against Sporting CP, followed by crucial Premier League ties.
