The Brazilian defender was forced to leave his teammates in the middle of the first period during Brazil’s victory against Senegal (2-0), injured in the right thigh. Visibly embarrassed, escorted by the medical staff, he was unable to continue and the examinations carried out after the meeting revealed “ a muscle injury to the right thigh “. The player was immediately sent back to London to begin treatment.

I don’t know what happened, he had a thigh problem. The doctors will check tomorrow. I’m really disappointed for him, I hope he recovers quickly “, explained Carlo Ancelotti. This injury comes at the worst time for Mikel Arteta, as Arsenal prepare to enter a crucial sequence: Tottenham, then Bayern Munich and Chelsea after the break.
