Gabriel is a doubt as Arsenal prepare to face Crystal Palace in the Premier League this weekend. The Brazilian centre-back picked up an unspecified knock before being substituted after scoring in Tuesday night’s 4-0 win over Atletico Madrid in the Champions League and has been unable to train since.

The positive news keeps coming for high-flying Arsenal after they secured a deal to keep youngster Max Dowman at the Emirates. The Gunners are sitting pretty at the top of the Premier League and are joint top of the Champions League table after demolishing Atletico Madrid 4-0 earlier this week.
