Mikel Arteta provides injury update on Arsenal stars Gabriel and Jurrien Timber ahead of Champions League showdown with Real Madrid

Arsenal's 2-1 victory against Fulham on Tuesday night was marred by injuries to defensive duo Gabriel and Jurrien Timber.

It proved a mixed night for the Gunners who saw Bukayo Saka mark his return from three months out with a hamstring injury by scoring — but also lost centre back Gabriel after just 16 minutes to a hamstring problem.

Arsenal secured victory — with Mikel Merino grabbing the other Gunners goal and Rodrigo Muniz netting Fulham's consolation — to close the gap on Premier League leaders to nine points.
