There will be no more play for Gabriel this season. The 27-year-old Arsenal defender must undergo surgery after the thigh injury he sustained in the London derby against Fulham on Tuesday.
Arsenal writes that Gabriel will undergo surgery in the next few days, and then begin rehabilitation with the goal of being back on the football pitch when next season starts after the summer.
The injury to the Brazilian is a heavy blow to Arsenal, who on Tuesday will host Real Madrid in the team's first quarterfinal meeting in the Champions League.
