Gabriel Magalhães Ruled Out for the Rest of the Season After Suffering Hamstring Injury

Gabriel Magalhães has been ruled out for the rest of the 2024–2025 season due to a hamstring injury sustained during Arsenal’s 2–1 victory over Fulham on April 1, 2025.

The Brazilian defender is set to undergo surgery in the coming days, with his rehabilitation aimed at ensuring his return for the start of the next campaign.

His absence is a major setback for manager Mikel Arteta, particularly with Arsenal preparing for their Champions League quarter-final clash against Real Madrid. Gabriel’s injury adds to the club’s defensive concerns, with Jurrien Timber, Ben White, and Riccardo Calafiori also dealing with fitness issues. Jakub Kiwior is expected to step up in central defense during his absence.

The 27-year-old has been a key figure in Arsenal’s backline this season, contributing to their strong defensive performances while also scoring five goals in all competitions. The club has expressed its full support for his recovery, emphasizing their hope that he will return in top form for the next season.
