Mikel Arteta faces injury concerns as Gabriel limps off with a hamstring issue ahead of Arsenal's Champions League quarter-final against Real Madrid. Bukayo Saka returned from injury to score in the 2-1 win against Fulham, but his team-mates Jurrien Timber and Ben White also picked up injuries. Saka's return was a boost for Arsenal, who missed his quality in their struggling Premier League title bid. The Gunners have relied heavily on Saka, with their points per game dropping from 2.1 to 1.9 in his absence. Former Brighton striker Glenn Murray believes Saka's return will lift the team, especially ahead of the Real Madrid tie. Gabriel's injury will be assessed, but he may miss the quarter-final due to the short turnaround. Declan Rice acknowledged Gabriel's value to the team, stating he has been Arsenal's best player this season.
