Gabriel is a doubt as Arsenal prepare to face Crystal Palace in the Premier League this weekend. The Brazilian centre-back picked up an unspecified knock before being substituted after scoring in Tuesday night’s 4-0 win over Atletico Madrid in the Champions League and has been unable to train since.

Arsenal centre back Gabriel Magalhaes is a doubt to face Crystal Palace but Mikel Arteta has quality options to step in. The Gunners brought in eight players in the summer with the idea of increasing quality in the squad so that if a key player was injured, the player who stepped in would not lead to a substantial drop in level.

Arsenal have reached an agreement with Max Dowman to sign scholarship terms, with a professional contract expected to follow when he turns 17. Dowman has emerged as one of the game’s top prospects and made his Premier League debut against Leeds United in August, aged only 15 years and 235 days.

The positive news keeps coming for high-flying Arsenal after they secured a deal to keep youngster Max Dowman at the Emirates. The Gunners are sitting pretty at the top of the Premier League and are joint top of the Champions League table after demolishing Atletico Madrid 4-0 earlier this week.

Arsenal spent big in the summer to try to improve their attack, but it might be their defence that could end up winning them a first Premier League title in 22 years.

Arteta was undertaking his coaching badges during the 2015-16 season, his final season as a player at Arsenal, before joining City where he met Nicolas Jover, who would later become set-piece coach at Brentford before joining Arsenal in 2021, less than two years after Arteta became manager.
