Returns to training for preseason
Gabriel has rejoined Arsenal's squad in training, and could be involved against Girona on Saturday, though a call on his involvement will come closer to kickoff, according to the club.
Analysis: Gabriel anchored Arsenal's title winning defense last season, starting 30 of 32 Premier League games and piling up 182 clearances and 34 blocks to go with three goals and four assists, part of a backline that posted 17 clean sheets. Brazil's World Cup ended before the semifinals, bringing him back to the club early. With William Saliba set to miss the start of the new season through injury, Gabriel figures to lead the center back pairing as Arsenal's clear defensive anchor under coach Mikel Arteta. Gabriel is expected to resume his role as a guaranteed starter as preseason continues.
Makes seven clearances in loss
Gabriel generated two tackles (zero won), seven clearances and one interception in Sunday's 2-1 defeat against Norway.
Analysis: Gabriel led Brazil in clearances during the frustrating and early elimination. The centerback lost the battle against Haaland with only two aerials won. He finished the World Cup with 22 clearances in five starts as his best overall stat.
