Arsenal's defensive duo, Gabriel Magalhaes and Jurrien Timber, have suffered setbacks ahead of their clash with Real Madrid. Gabriel Magalhaes was forced off the pitch with a hamstring injury during Arsenal's recent match against Fulham.
The extent of the injury is still unknown, but a medical expert estimates that recovery time could range from less than a week for a minor issue to 4-6 weeks for a more severe grade 2 injury.
Meanwhile, Jurrien Timber limped off the pitch with a knee problem, adding to Arsenal's defensive woes. With these injuries, William Saliba may need to partner with another defender against Real Madrid.
The Gunners will be hoping for a speedy recovery for their defensive duo to ensure a strong lineup for the upcoming match.
