With this victory, Liverpool is now one point behind Manchester City at the top of the table, while Arsenal is now five points behind the leaders.
Another Arsenal player has been hurt recently: Gabriel Magalhaes.
During Sunday’s 2-2 draw between Arsenal and Liverpool at the Emirates, the back was taken off the field.
Already, Riccardo Calafiori, Takehiro Tomiyasu, Kieran Tierney, and William Saliba’s injuries and suspension had limited Mikel Arteta’s defensive choices.
Although, after a fight with Darwin Nunez in the second half, Gabriel looked like he was feeling something and was then seen grimacing.
Following that, he hit the ground in pain and needed help getting up.
Unfortunately, it didn’t work, and Gabriel was substituted for Jakub Kiwior in the 54th minute because he was hurt.
According to reports, the knock was caused by a knee injury that he got when he was dueling Nunez.
Gabby holding his left knee while getting treatment seemed to back up this diagnosis, as the club doctor also looked for a medial collateral ligament (MCL) injury.
Athlete could walk off the field and down the tunnel, but he could now spend weeks on the sidelines.
It depends on how bad the blow was to Gabriel’s MCL that determines how long he will be out.
When treated properly, a grade 1 problem will go away in one to three weeks, a grade 2 problem could go away in four to six weeks, and a grade 3 problem will go away at least six weeks after beginning treatment.
Additionally, Jurrien Timber’s problems got worse when, in the 75th minute, he was replaced by a teenager named Myles Lewis-Skelly after the Dutchman was hurt and had to be treated on the ground.
Gabby later came back to the side of the field to watch the rest of the game.
Although Saliba will be back for Arteta after his one-game ban, Calafiori, Tomiyasu, and Tierney will not be.
Pre-Liverpool, Martin Odegaard and Bukayo Saka were also hurt for Arsenal.
Leading scorer Saka, on the other hand, was cleared to play and scored the first goal after ten minutes with a wicked close-range shot.
In the tying goal, Liverpool captain Virgil van Dijk scored from a set play.
But the home team answered with a free kick of their own. Mikel Merino headed in Declan Rice’s excellent free kick just before halftime, and the goal was confirmed after a long VAR assessment for offside.
Mohammed Salah scored for Liverpool a second equalizer in the 81st minute.
Gabby Jesus put the ball in the net for Arsenal in extra time, but the goal was called off because of a foul earlier in the move.
