The 22-year-old scored his eighth goal of the season in all competitions by finding the net in the 15th minute, but was later subbed off amid concerns over his fitness.
He entered the second half but was later substituted, hobbling towards the touchline with assistance from the visitors’ medical team.
Arteta later disclosed that the Arsenal winger sustained a cut, preventing him from continuing in the match, raising concerns among supporters as crucial games loom ahead.
Speaking to Sky Sports via Daily Mail at full time, Arteta stated: “Gabi is just a cut, a light cut and we see how he is.”
The Brazilian winger has previously faced injury setbacks earlier this season, sitting out six games during a 20-day period from September to October last year.
Similarly, Bukayo Saka was withdrawn at half-time in their 6-0 win away to Sheffield United. Their respective problems were the only negatives for the Gunners, who absolutely blew away the Premier League ’s bottom side in true style.
