Mikel Arteta said Arsenal cannot be derailed by the loss of Gabriel Magalhaes for the rest of the season as they chase Premier League and Champions League glory. The Brazilian centre-back added to Arteta's woes with a hamstring injury in Tuesday's 2-1 win over Fulham that will require surgery.
Arteta revealed after the game the Dutchman had an issue with his knee – but did not specify if it was the same one that suffered an anterior cruciate ligament injury that saw him miss his entire debut season. Ben White meanwhile did not make the squad midweek, with a knee problem of his own forcing Arteta to sideline the defender.
