Arsenal could be without several important players for their upcoming quarterfinals of the Champions League against Real Madrid, which will start next Tuesday with the first stage at the Emirates Stadium.
Real Madrid is already considered favorites to continue to the semi -final, and their chances can now be higher, because Arsenal sweating on the fitness of two important defenders after they have sustained injuries in Tuesday's victory in the Premier League.
It was a night of mixed emotions for Arsenal when Bukayo Saka scored on his long -awaited return after an injury, and the setbacks in the coming days, he will be fit to face Real Madrid. However, the same cannot be said for Gabriel Maglaes and Jurrien Timber, both of whom were injured on Tuesday, according to the sport.
Gabriel's situation is the one who has caused a serious concern for Arsenal, because he was enforced in the first half with a hamstring problem. He is considered a great doubt for the first stage against Real Madrid, while the same can also be said for Jurrien Timber, who was enforced in the second period.
It has been a tough few weeks for Arsenal in terms of injuries, in which Riccardo Calafiori and Ben White have also had problems, and they are also struggling for the match-up against Real Madrid. It means that Mikel Arteta could have few options in the coming weeks.
Real Madrid will be satisfied with the idea of experiencing an exhausted Arsenal side in the Champions League, while they continue their attempt to retain their crown. However, it cannot be taken for granted that they will progress, because the Premier League side is very capable, even without some of their most important players.
