Gabriel gives an update on his fitness ahead of next season

Gabriel Magalhães has provided an encouraging update on his recovery from the injury that kept him out of action during the closing stages of Arsenal’s campaign. The Brazilian defender had been a pivotal part of Mikel Arteta’s side throughout the season, and his absence was clearly felt as the team pushed for honours in the final weeks. His influence at the back has been widely acknowledged, and many supporters believe that his presence could have made a difference in the decisive fixtures.

Arsenal’s defensive record has improved significantly in recent campaigns, and Gabriel has played a major role in that progress. His ability to read the game, command the back line and contribute physically has made him a mainstay in the squad. The announcement that he has signed a contract extension only reinforces his importance to the club’s future plans.
