Arsenal endured a frustrating season last time out and the Gunners are eager to turn their fortune around this season.

Their quest towards having a fruitful season has now been given a huge boast as they received a potential boost regarding the injury of Brazilian center-back Gabriel Magalhães.

Latest report from Football.London revealed that the Brazilian has recently been training privately in Mexico with Sport physiotherapist Thiago Pegoretti.

This was a news Arsenal fans were not willing to hear as they were eager to see the Brazilian pair their new signing Ben White in the centre-back.

However, the latest update about his injury is encouraging as Sport physiotherapist Pegoretti himself, posted on his Instagram account that Gabriel has been put through an 11-day preventive and preparatory regimen.

Both parties thanked each other for their positive relationship during their period together and he’s now set to return to Arsenal.

Gabriel will be eager to make the squad for Arsenal’s opening match against Brentford in the Premier League.
