Arsenal defender Gabriel Magalhaes suffers injury scare in Brazil debut

Gabriel Magalhaes is the latest Arsenal player to suffer a suspected injury, with the defender picking up a knock during international duty with Brazil.

Gabriel made his debut on Saturday evening, playing 85 minutes of a thumping 5-1 win over Bolivia in a 2026 World Cup qualifier. Despite the comfortable scoreline, the centre-back was in the wars during the Game, even taking a knee to the chest from Diego Ibanez in the fifth minute.

The Gunners star was eventually subbed off for Al Ahli's Roger Ibanez for the final few minutes.

During those closing stages, Gabriel was spotted with an ice pack held on his thigh, leading Arsenal fans to believe that their centre-back suffered a knock.

A problem for Gabriel would leave Arsenal incredibly short of options in defence, with the club currently without both Jurrien Timber and Thomas Partey due to injuries too. Partey suffered a groin issue recently, while new signing Timber is set to miss the bulk of the season just to an ACL injury.

Gabriel had found his way back into the Gunners starting lineup in the win over Manchester United after being dropped to the bench for the first few games of the season.

After the Game, the defender took to Instagram to comment on his Brazil debut, but didn't give any updates on the suspected injury: “Only God knows how much I’ve waited for this moment!"

Marquez didn’t want to battle Martin in Qatar to not hurt his MotoGP title hopes

Martin endured a torrid grand prix in Qatar on Sunday, as a problem with his rear tyre meant he struggled to 10th while title rival Francesco Bagnaia finished second. The Pramac rider is now 21 points adrift of Bagnaia in the championship, having cut his lead down to seven 24 hours earlier after winning the sprint, and later raged against Michelin for 'stealing' the title from him. Martin found himself at one stage fighting with Honda's Marquez before the eight-time world champion eventually finished down in 11th. Speaking after the race, Marquez said he could see Martin was struggling with rear grip but didn't want to fight him too hard as the points gained wouldn't have "changed my life". "I did the whole race behind Martin," Marquez said. "At the beginning I saw that he was pulling hard and we were catching the group a little bit, but then I saw that he was starting to lose quite a bit of speed compare

How Tottenham could line up with Timo Werner

Image
Tottenham Hotspur are signing Timo Werner on an initial loan deal until the end of the season. What a sentence. Go back two-and-a-half years to when Chelsea won the Champions League. Their starting front three now all play for rival clubs, with Kai Havertz at Arsenal and Mason Mount at Manchester United. What's even stranger about Spurs' move for Werner is that, six months removed from the soul-crushing sale of Harry Kane, the mood has hardly ever been better in N17. Ange Postecoglou has been on the lookout for another versatile forward and in Werner he has a player capable of filling various holes despite his deficiencies. Where will Werner play for Tottenham? Here are the different ways he could be deployed. Coming in off the left Werner has pace to burn / Masashi Hara/GettyImages Werner's most likely route into the starting XI comes on the left wing, particularly with Son Heung-min currently away at the Asian Cup with South Korea.
