ARTETA'S DEFENSIVE CRISIS: GABRIEL MAGALHAES SET TO MISS IMPORTANT DERBY MATCHES NOW
Arsenal's title hopes suffer a major blow as star defender Gabriel Magalhaes faces 1-2 months out with a thigh injury. The Brazilian could miss up to 15 crucial games, including clashes with Spurs, Bayern, and Chelsea.

During the November international break, Arsenal has once again been hit by the injury curse.
The Gunners are on track to end their major trophy drought after an outstanding start to the season, but the defence that has made Arsenal so successful this season could be derailed by a concerning injury to star centre back Gabriel.
The 27-year-old, who missed 19 club and national team games the previous season, had his most recent setback while playing for Brazil in an international friendly—ironically, against Senegal at the Emirates Stadium.
The defender may be out for a long time, which is unfortunate for Gabriel and Arsenal based on the early indications.
Here is the most recent information on Gabriel's injuries and the games he might miss while recovering.
In Brazil's 2-0 victory over Senegal, Gabriel played 64 minutes before being pulled off the field because of a right thigh muscle injury. Manager Carlo Ancelotti acknowledged after the game that he was unsure of the defender's injury's extent, but the most recent report from The Athletic indicates a potentially alarming recuperation period.
Although more tests are needed to fully assess the problem, they assert that Gabriel is looking at one or two months in the treatment room. In the worst situation, the Arsenal player might miss some important games till the middle of January.
Assuming Gabriel misses two months of action, he would miss at least 14 Arsenal games, with that number increasing to 15 if the Gunners advance to the Carabao Cup semifinals.
Immediately following the international break, Gabriel will miss three of the most important games. Arsenal will travel to Chelsea on November 30 after hosting fierce local rivals Tottenham Hotspur this Sunday and Bayern Munich in the Champions League the following Wednesday.
If Gabriel is just out for a month, he may play in part of the eight games the North London Giants have scheduled for December. He will miss Premier League games against Brentford (H), Aston Villa (A), Wolverhampton Wanderers (H), Everton (A), Brighton & Hove Albion (H), and Villa (H) if his injury is more serious.
December also includes games against Crystal Palace (H) in the Carabao Cup quarterfinals and Club Brugge (A) in the Champions League.
Before Gabriel's possible return in January, Arsenal will play the FA Cup third round without him and have Premier League games against Bournemouth (A) and defending champions Liverpool (A). If Arsenal advances past Palace, the Brazilian would also miss the opening leg of the Carabao Cup semifinals.
BUKAYO SAKA NAMES MESUT ÖZIL BEST ARSENAL TEAMMATE EVER
Arsenal star Bukayo Saka names Mesut Özil as the best teammate he has ever played with. The England international made his professional debut alongside the German playmaker back in 2018.

Rewinding the clock to the beginning of his Arsenal career, Bukayo Saka named Mesut Özil his best teammate ever, ignoring a wealth of talented players in favour of a controversial figure in the club's recent past.
Together with Özil, Saka made his Arsenal debut in December 2018. The then-17-year-old was named Player of the Match in a match determined by the German playmaker's assist for the game's lone goal, lining up on the left wing in a significantly altered starting lineup for a Europa League matchup against Qarabağ FK.
While Özil has long ago moved out of north London, Saka is still a mainstay of Arsenal's first team lineup nearly seven years later.
When asked by BBC Radio 5 Live to choose his favourite teammate this week, Saka responded, "High-quality player." "It is entertaining to watch him and play with him."
Managing Özil was not always enjoyable for Mikel Arteta.
Before the COVID-19 pandemic forced football to halt worldwide, the former Real Madrid midfielder would make the majority of his 17 appearances with Saka in the first part of the 2019–20 season. Özil had left Arteta's team by the time the Premier League started "Project Restart," which allowed games to resume in empty stadiums.
It is still unclear what exactly caused this drastic shift in position. A mainstay of Arteta's early rule, Özil had previously stirred up some controversy with a few politically heated remarks. According to reports, the club's highest-paid player was one of a select few who refused to take a pay cut during the pandemic's peak, but his manager maintained that this had nothing to do with his unexpected banishment.
Arteta said, "To be honest, I accept full responsibility," after excluding Özil from the team's Premier League roster for the 2020–21 campaign. "I must be the one encouraging the players to perform at their highest level. I am accountable for it. It has nothing to do with any actions or, as I have read, the salary reductions.
After questioning a lack of "loyalty" and sniping from the sidelines, Özil did not take the decision well. In January 2021, he finally joined Fenerbahçe on a free transfer.
Some of Saka's present comrades may be engaging in a similar blame game. Martin Ødegaard has already scored more Premier League goals than Özil ever did, although playing 3,000 fewer minutes, and several of his England teammates, most notably Harry Kane and Jude Bellingham, have a serious chance to be named his most gifted teammate.
ARSENAL INJURY CONCERN RISES AS GABRIEL MAGALHAES LEAVES FIELD WITH GROIN
Arsenal face an anxious wait after defender Gabriel Magalhaes was substituted with a groin injury while playing for Brazil against Senegal at the Emirates, a major blow ahead of key fixtures.

After Brazil replaced Gabriel Magalhaes due to an injury during their friendly match against Senegal, Arsenal would have to wait anxiously.
Under the lights at the Emirates, Carlo Ancelotti hooked the towering center-back, who is playing at his peak for The Gunners, while he held his groin.
He took a knock in the 63rd minute of the game in North London, where he has shown some outstanding play this season, and seemed to be in some discomfort.
Gabriel, surrounded by medical personnel, walked slowly off the field and appeared disappointed when Roma defender Wesley took his place.
As the 27-year-old hobbled behind the goal while having lengthy conversations with the national team's medical staff, he was greeted with thunderous ovation.
Mikel Arteta will be concerned because he could lose his star centre-back in the upcoming weeks when they play Chelsea, Tottenham, and Bayern Munich.
Due to an injury, Brazil substituted Gabriel Magalhaes against Senegal on Saturday.
As he hobbled off the field at The Emirates, the Brazilian seemed a little uncomfortable.
The defender had contributed to an outstanding Brazil performance, the most recent in a series of the country's games played at the Emirates.
Gabriel's involvement is expected to add value for any Arsenal supporters who wish to visit the Selecao, who have already qualified for the World Cup and were playing Senegal in a friendly.
After recovering from a hamstring injury sustained in April that kept him out for months, the defender now faces a stint on the injury table.
With seven clean sheets in 11 games this season, Gabriel has been essential to Arsenal's unbeatable performances. Having already scored twice for Arteta's team, he has also been a constant menace moving forward.
