Arsenal have been handed a fitness boost with defender Gabriel Magalhaes taking full part in Brazil\u2019s training session on Sunday after an injury scare during his international debut on Saturday.<\/p>\n
The centre-back made his first appearance for his country during the 5-1 victory over Bolivia in World Cup qualifying.<\/p>\n
However, he had to be taken off in the latter stages of the game and was then seen holding an ice pack on his thigh on the bench.<\/p>\n
Fortunately it looks as though it was merely a precaution and he could now feature in Wednesday\u2019s game against Peru.<\/p>\n
Gabriel had previously featured for Brazil at youth level and was an unused substitute for the senior team on four occasions.<\/p>\n

The 25-year-old, who has produced some excellent performances for Arsenal, had been linked with a move away from the Gunners during the summer transfer window.<\/p>\n
However, he remains part of Mikel Arteta’s plans and was restored to the starting lineup for the victory over Manchester United.<\/p>\n
Arsenal looked much more solid with the back line that did so well last season and fans will be relieved to see that Gabriel\u2019s issue was nothing serious.<\/p>\n
In total Gabriel has played 122 games for Arsenal since he joined from Lille in 2020.<\/p>\n
