Arsenal defender Gabriel has been ruled out of Brazil's friendly against Tunisia in Lille due to a thigh injury. The 27-year-old Brazilian picked up the injury during Saturday's match against Senegal at Arsenal's Emirates Stadium.
Speaking after the match, head coach Carlo Ancelotti expressed disappointment over the injury and expressed hope that Gabriel can recover well soon. Gabriel has been an important part of the Arsenal defence as they top the Premier League table with just five goals conceded in 11 league games.
Gabriel will not travel to Lille for the Tunisia match on Tuesday due to the injury, which means Brazil's coach will have to adjust his tactics without one of his key defenders. The Gunners are next in action when they face north London rivals Tottenham on November 23rd, before welcoming Bayern Munich in the Champions League a week later.
The Brazil squad is in France for a friendly match against Tunisia, and Gabriel's injury is a significant blow to their plans.

Can't believe Gabriel got hurt now, just as they're cruising through the league. I mean, I know injuries happen but it feels like bad luck for Brazil too, since they were looking strong without him in that Senegal match.
. Fingers crossed Gabriel recovers soon, hopefully not too long though 
like what if they had just listened to their trainers for once? Anyway I think this is a huge blow to Brazil's chances of winning that friendly match, especially with Gabriel being one of their best defenders. He's been playing really well for Arsenal too, and now he's out for who knows how long 
. this means they gotta regroup now, not ideal timing with the euros around the corner 
. hopefully he recovers well in time for arsenal's next match against spurs, that'd be a huge boost 
. ancelotti's gonna have to get creative with his lineup, fingers crossed gabe gets back on track soon 
.
You can't have too many good men like Gabriel playing for your country... but it seems that way right now! 
. I mean, his team can still win without him, right? They've got all those other defenders who are just itching for a chance to play more minutes. And let's be real, Tunisia isn't exactly the toughest opponent in the world... 
. Maybe this is actually an opportunity for Brazil to try out some new tactics and see what they're made of. I'm sure Gabriel will be back to his old self in no time, but for now, it's not the end of the world 
.
. It's not all about the player's health; it's about strategy and performance under pressure. The coach has to adapt and lead his team to victory 
.
can't believe it, another big name going down with an injury... I mean, I get it, injuries happen, but this one comes at the worst time for Brazil. They're already struggling to find consistency and now they lose a crucial defender like Gabriel? 
should've seen that coming after how many times we've seen big players go down in key games... still, fingers crossed Gabriel recovers soon 
️
️... fingers crossed Gabriel comes back fit in time for the next match 
just heard about Gabriel's injury 
and now he's out for like a week or two... hopefully Gabriel recovers quick tho 
. Can't wait to see him back on the pitch for Arsenal soon 
. The Brazil squad is gonna have a tough time without their key defender in the friendly match against Tunisia 
. That Bayern Munich match in the Champions League is gonna be intense now 
. but hopefully he recovers quickly, we don't want him to be out for too long 
. i feel bad for carlo ancelotti, coaching without one of his main defenders must be tough 
... unless he's all healed up and stuff, which might not happen anytime soon given how bad injuries are.
i hope he recovers fast 
carlo ancelotti sounds like a good sport though 
anyway, gonna miss seein gabriel on the pitch 
arsenal's gonna miss him i guess coach ancelotti said it all, hoping gabriel gets better soon 
. i mean, i know it's a thigh injury, but still... the brazil squad is already gonna have to adjust their game plan without him, and that's gonna affect the whole dynamic of the team 
. i'm worried about gabriel's recovery timeline, too... hopefully he can get back on the pitch soon, or else arsenal might start to struggle 
.
. Hopefully he'll recover quickly and get back on the pitch soon 
! It's always a risk when you're playing football, though...
... just looked at the stats tho, they've been playing decent defense without him in the last 2 matches 
and conceded only 1 goal 
... still, gotta be worried 'bout this thigh injury tho 
on the other hand, Tunisia has been having a solid run of form lately 
!
