London: Gabriel Magalhaes will miss "weeks" of action after picking up an injury during international duty, Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta confirmed on Friday.
The Brazil defender has been at the heart of the near-impregnable Gunners back line that has conceded just five goals in 11 Premier League matches.
But he suffered a thigh injury during Brazil's 2-0 friendly win over Senegal at the Emirates Stadium last weekend.
"Gabi is going to be out for weeks," said Arteta, who added that the defender will have another scan next week.
Gabriel has formed a formidable central defensive partnership with William Saliba and is also a threat from set-pieces.
