The 26-year-old has been in fine form for the Gunners this season, forming a solid partnership with William Saliba, which has conceded the least goals in the Premier League.

Brazil head coach, Dorival Junior, confirmed his withdrawal but did not reveal the extent of the injury.

Junior told the media: “I had already communicated previously that we will work with a slightly more extensive list.

“A pre-call — we can put it that way — and again, today, we had another casualty. Unfortunately, Gabriel Magalhaes is out. In his place, we are calling Bremer, from Juventus.”
