Arsenal are already without several players due to injury, and their latest Champions League match against Olympiakos brought another injury concern.
Martin Odegaard and Bukayo Saka have just come back from injuries, but the squad is still without Noni Madueke, Kai Havertz, and Piero Hincapie.
Defender Gabriel was the latest Arsenal player to come off early with an injury, as Cristhian Mosquera came on for the Brazilian defender.
Mikel Arteta provided a hopeful update on the defender's condition, with their Premier League clash against West Ham upcoming.
What did Arteta say about Gabriel's injury?
Speaking in his press conference after Arsenal's 2-0 Champions League win, Arteta said, "I think he's going to be OK.

"I think it was a kick, in the first half, and it was a bit uncomfortable. He could carry on, but we decided not to take any risks because he's played a lot of games.
"He's coming back from a long-term injury, and we need to look after him."
Gabriel had his head in his hands as he came off with the injury, which happened after a collision with goalkeeper David Raya, but the boss remains confident he'll be available for the final game before the international break.
Should Gabriel not be fit for the clash, William Saliba is likely to partner with Mosquera in the back.
