Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta has confirmed that Gabriel Magalhaes and Kai Havertz won’t be returning to action for another few weeks.
Magalhaes sustained a thigh injury playing for Brazil against Senegal last month, and he is currently on the sidelines recovering from the setback.
Havertz, on the other hand, has been out since the curtain-raiser against Manchester United. He picked up a knee injury in early August.
In today’s presser, Arteta clarified that it is a ‘matter of weeks’ before Gabriel and Havertz return to first-team action for the north London side.
Arsenal played out a disappointing 1-1 draw against Chelsea last weekend. The Blues were down to 10 men in the 38th minute, but the Gunners could not capitalise to secure maximum points.
They will be aiming to return to winning ways against the Bees. It is likely that Cristhian Mosquera and Piero Hincapie will continue in the heart of teh defence for the second-straight league game.
William Saliba has yet to fully recovered from a knock in training last weekend, and may not be involved from the starting XI.
