Arsenal Star’s Wife Provides Injury Update Ahead Of Real Madrid Clash

The wife of Arsenal defender, Gabriel Magalhaes has reportedly provided an injury update on the Brazilian ahead of the Gunners’ UEFA Champions League quarter-final clash against Real Madrid.

After trying to run back and assist his team in defending a counterattack, the Brazil international pulled up abruptly, ending his 16-minute stint against the Cottagers.

Gabriel, who has had a fantastic personal season, is now expected to miss both legs of Arsenal’s matchup against Los Blancos. His wife, Gabrielle Figueiredo, did little to lessen any concern on the injury’s severity.

According to The Metro, speaking at the Married to the Game screening last night, she said: “It’s difficult. I think the perfect example is now, because he got injured yesterday.

“Yesterday we got the news he got injured, and now he is with the doctor having scans.

“So this is the real life, and we never expected anything like this.”

On how she supports her man in times of adversity, Gabrielle added: “I think the only thing that we could do is being together and be the assurance for each other.

“That is the thing that I (will) do when I arrive home today. And yeah, it’s not easy, but we try our best to create this bond together every day, in every difficult moment.”

Ben White and Riccardo Calafiori are also serious injury worries, while Mikel Arteta is especially concerned about the condition of Jurrien Timber, who also hobbled off against Fulham.
