Gabriel Magalhaes is one of six Arsenal players to have pulled out of international duty citing injury concerns. The Brazilian defender joins William Saliba, Leandro Trossard, Jurrien Timber and Eberechi Eze in withdrawing from their respective national teams during the international break. Gabriel has pulled out of Carlo Ancelotti's Brazil squad for their friendlies against France and Croatia, citing right knee pain following Sunday's Carabao Cup final defeat by Man City. Leandro Trossard, who played 82 minutes of the final, withdrew from Belgium's squad after consultation between their FA and Arsenal. Having suffered defeat in the Carabao Cup final, Arsenal will face a vital run of matches after the international break in their pursuit of winning multiple trophies this season.
