Injury Clouds Champions League Prep 🚑
The match turned costly for Arsenal as defender Gabriel Magalhães left with a knee injury ahead of their Champions League clash with Sporting CP. Arteta admitted this was the team's 'first real difficulty' in a dominant season that still sees them nine points clear domestically.
