Arsenal fell to a 2-0 defeat at PSV Eindhoven in the Europa League on Thursday night.

The high-flying Gunners went into the game hoping to clinch top spot in Group A.

However, Arsenal struggled as PSV found the back of the Gunners’ net twice in the first half.

Both goals were rightly disallowed, but the warning signs were there for Mikel Arteta’s charges.

Arsenal didn’t heed those, and ended up conceding in the 55th minute through Joey Veerman.

Then, in the 63rd minute, Luuk de Jong made the most of Aaron Ramsdale’s error to make it 2-0 to the hosts.

PSV whipped in a corner and the Arsenal goalkeeper came out to try and punch the ball away.

However, he completely missed it, and De Jong was on hand to head into the open net.

If that wasn’t bad enough, there could now be concerns over Gabriel Magalhaes’ fitness.

The ‘incredible’ Arsenal defender replaced Kieran Tierney in the 74th minute of the match.

But according to Sam Dean of the Telegraph, Gabriel was limping down the tunnel at full-time and looked in pain.

Arteta didn’t comment on Gabriel or his fitness during his post-match press conference either.

With Arsenal back in action at home to Nottingham Forest on Sunday, there should be further updates soon.

The Gunners usually release training-ground footage and pictures, so we’ll see if Gabriel features.

Arsenal also issue team fitness news ahead of matches, which Arteta can elaborate on at his pre-match presser.

Hopefully it’s nothing serious, as Gabriel is such a crucial player for the Gunners.
