Mikel Arteta confirms Gabriel fit after surgery as Arsenal handed double injury boost for pre-season.
Arsenal defenders Gabriel and William Saliba have recovered from the hamstring injuries that force them to miss the end of last season.
Gabriel injured his hamstring at the start of April and he had to undergo surgery to solve the issue.
Saliba’s injury was far more minor, with the Frenchman forced to come off in the penultimate game of the campaign and missing the last day of the season at Southampton.
Both players have used the summer to recover, however, and they are part of Arsenal’s squad for their pre-season tour of Singapore and Hong Kong.
Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta has revealed the centre-backs are in “good shape” and Gabriel made his first appearance since April during a behind-closed-doors friendly against Watford last Saturday.
“Well, we haven’t seen them for four or หากคุณสนใจเล่นพนันออนไลน์ที่ดีที่สุด สามารถสมัครสมาชิก UFABET ได้ที่นี่ พร้อมรับโปรโมชั่นพิเศษสำหรับสมาชิกใหม่ six weeks,” said Arteta. “They come back and they seem older, more mature, really excited – Gabi as well because of his new contract.

“He (Gabriel) played 45 minutes on Saturday against Watford. He looks in good shape, William Saliba as well.
