Mikel Arteta and Arsenal will face Real Madrid in the Champions League quarter-finals with their backs against the wall. And they'll have to do so without Gabriel, arguably their finest defender. After picking up an injury in their 2-1 Premier League win over Fulham last time out, Gunners fans have received the news they feared. According to the club's official report, the Brazilian international has sustained a hamstring injury that will necessitate surgery. "Gabi will undergo a surgical repair procedure to his hamstring in the coming days, and immediately begin his recovery and rehabilitation programme, with the aim to be ready for the start of next season," the news release stated. "Everyone at the club will be fully focused on supporting Gabi to ensure he is back to full fitness as soon as possible." The club has already experienced numerous injuries this season, including Bukayo Saka, Kai Havertz, Gabriel Martinelli, Martin Ødegaard, Ricardo Calaf...
Angelo Fabiani expresses his optimism in closing the sale.
Tavares is out of favour at Arsenal and has spent the last two seasons on loan outside the Emirates Stadium.
Earlier this month, the left-back indicated that he was prepared to battle for his place at Arsenal, but he now appears to be heading to Lazio.
"[Tavares] is a player who Lazio is very interested in," he said during a press conference on Wednesday.
"Talks between the two teams resulted in an agreement yesterday.
"Before completing the operation, however, numerous components must be agreed upon and an agreement reached with the agents.
"I am more than confident, but for superstitious reasons I will not say that he is already a Lazio player."
Lazio has also been linked with a bid for Manchester United forward Mason Greenwood, who is set to join Marseille, and Fabiani has acknowledged his interest in signing him.
"We were already negotiating him last year, we are still in contact with Manchester," according to him. "There are still disruptive actions, but they are part of the transfer market.
"Let's pretend the fox eats the devil's advise, and I'm not the devil. I was born an optimist. "The market is like money: it never sleeps."
