Arsenal have been handed a fitness boost with defender Gabriel Magalhaes taking full part in Brazil’s training session on Sunday after an injury scare during his international debut on Saturday.

The centre-back made his first appearance for his country during the 5-1 victory over Bolivia in World Cup qualifying.

However, he had to be taken off in the latter stages of the game and was then seen holding an ice pack on his thigh on the bench.

Fortunately it looks as though it was merely a precaution and he could now feature in Wednesday’s game against Peru.
