The Brazilian defender has been a central piece of the almost impenetrable defensive line of the Gunners, which has conceded only five goals in 11 matches of the Premier League.

But he suffered a thigh injury during Brazil's 2-0 victory over Senegal in a friendly match held at the Emirates Stadium last weekend.

“Gabi will be out for weeks,” said Arteta, adding that the defender will undergo a new examination next week.

Gabriel has formed an imposing partnership in defense with William Saliba and is also a threat in aerial plays.

Arsenal, which hosts Tottenham on Sunday, is four points ahead of Manchester City at the top of the Premier League after a 2-2 draw with Sunderland earlier this month, a result that ended an eight-match winning streak across all competitions without conceding goals.

The Gunners have a remarkable record against their London rival — they have lost only once at home in the league to Tottenham since 1993.

But the Spurs arrive at the Emirates boasting the best away performance in the league this season — four wins and one draw in five matches.
