Arsenal defender Gabriel Magalhaes has been withdrawn from the
Brazil squad for their upcoming fixtures - but should be ready to face
Manchester City after the international break. The Gunners travel to the Etihad on March 31 in the first game after the upcoming internationals, and Brazil confirmed on Monday that Gabriel has not been included in the squad to face
England and
Spain in the coming 10 days. Gabriel Martinelli has already been replaced in Dorival Junior's squad with a foot injury, and now his club colleague has also been pulled due to injury. The 26-year-old - who made his international debut last year, scoring his first goal for his country against
Venezuela in October and has six caps to his name - had his absence confirmed on Monday afternoon. Nottingham Forest fume at
