Arsenal defender Gabriel Magalhaes has suffered an injury in action for Brazil last night.

Gabriel had a heavy clash with Bolivia's Diego Ibanez in the fifth minute.

He played on until the 80th minute, but Brazil medical chiefs later confirmed a thigh injury for the Gunners defender.

Physical therapy doctor, Dr. Rajpal Brar, provided a brief update on his initial assessment of the injury. On Twitter, he wrote: "Thigh issue for Arsenal CB Gabriel Magalhaes. Unsure if it's contact related or a muscle pull."

He later provided another update: "Based on what multiple people have told me, sounds contact related. Overall good news."
