Brazil wins but Arsenal suffers heavy losses: main center back retires due to injury

In the international friendly match between Brazil and Senegal at the Emirates Stadium, Arsenal's main defender Gabriel unfortunately left the field injured, casting a shadow on the Gunners' defense.

In the 64th minute of the game, Gabriel suddenly covered his groin area without confrontation, with a painful expression, and immediately signaled to the sidelines to request a substitution. The 27-year-old Brazilian international then fell to the ground for a long time. Finally, he slowly left the field with the support of his teammates and was replaced by substitute central defender Wesley.

After the game, Brazilian coach Ancelotti confirmed the injury: "He has an adductor muscle problem and will need further examination tomorrow. We feel very sorry and hope he can recover as soon as possible."

This injury came at the wrong time. As the core figure of Arteta's defense system, the central defender combination composed of Gabriel and his partner Saliba has been the cornerstone of Arsenal's stable record in recent years. Once he is unable to recover in time, it will inevitably seriously affect the team's preparations for the North London Derby at home against Tottenham Hotspur on November 23.

Misfortune never comes singly, and there is also bad news from Tottenham. Midfielder Sarr, a key member of the team's midfield under the coaching of Thomas Frank, also left the friendly match early due to physical problems. When leaving the field, Sarr looked depressed and walked straight into the player tunnel. His ability to play in the upcoming derby is currently full of doubts.

Although Brazil won 2-0 with goals from Esteban and Casemiro, this victory could not conceal the concerns of Arsenal and even Premier League fans. For the Gunners who are in the midst of a crucial schedule, Gabriel's injury is undoubtedly a heavy blow.
