Arteta's injury update on Gabriel and Hincapie

Mikel Arteta has provided an update on the injury sustained by Gabriel that forced the defender off against Olympiacos on Wednesday night.

The Brazilian centre-back came off in the 75th minute after colliding with David Raya and was replaced by Cristhian Mosquera, as we held firm to collect a 2-0 victory and record back-to-back Champions League wins.

However, with the games coming thick and fast, we're back in action against West Ham United on Saturday at Emirates Stadium, so will Big Gabi be available against the Hammers? Mikel admits that while there is no long-term damage, it is still in the balance as to whether Gabi will line up in our backline as we chase a fourth-straight win in all competitions.
