Arsenal defender, Gabriel Magalhaes could be seen applying ice to his knee as he failed to last 90 minutes on the pitch on his Brazil debut.

Magalhaes’ condition will be a big concern for Arsenal boss Mikel Arteta as the club have already suffered a blow in Jurrien Timber’s anterior cruciate ligament injury earlier in the season.
The Brazilian featured in the Arsenal starting lineup for the first time in the ongoing season against Manchester United last weekend.
On September 17, Arsenal will play Everton in the Premier League following the end of the international break.
