Arsenal receive good news ahead of their match against Newcastle United

Arsenal fans can breathe a sigh of relief as Gabriel Magalhaes might be available for their match against Newcastle United on Sunday at St James Park. The Brazilian defender was subbed off in Arsenal’s 3-1 win over Chelsea on Wednesday, causing concern among fans and the team’s coaching staff.

However, according to a report by  Standard Sport, Gabriel Magalhaes might prove his fitness before the game and be available for selection. This news comes as a huge boost for Arsenal, who already have William Saliba on the sidelines due to injury.

Arsenal will need all their best players available if they are to get a positive result against Newcastle United. The Magpies have been impressive this season and currently sit in third position on the table with 65 points. They have been difficult to beat at home.

Gabriel Magalhaes has been an important player for Arsenal this season since he has been one of the best defenders in the league this season. He has formed a solid partnership with William Saliba (before his injury) at the heart of Arsenal’s defence and has impressed with his composure on the ball and aerial ability.

If Gabriel Magalhaes is not fit enough to play, it is likely that Jakub Kiwior will partner Rob Holding in central defence. Kiwior has been impressive in his limited appearances for Arsenal this season and will be looking to stake his claim for a regular starting spot.

In conclusion, Arsenal fans can take heart from the news that Gabriel Magalhaes might be available for selection against Newcastle United on Sunday. The Brazilian defender has been an important player for Arsenal this season and his presence will give them a better chance of getting a positive result against a tough opponent.
