Just days after earning a place in Arsenal’s first XI, January signing Gabriel Paulista has been ruled out for three weeks with a hamstring injury.

Gabriel joined the club in a £13.5 million move from Villarreal and edged Per Mertesacker out of the starting XI for last weekend’s win over Everton.
In midweek, it was Laurent Koscielny who made way as the Brazilian kept his place for the 2-1 win over QPR.
But Gabriel pulled up in the first half at Loftus Road and has now been ruled out for a number of weeks.
"Gabriel has a hamstring injury and he will be out for two to three weeks,” said Wenger.
There was better news about Spanish full-back Nacho Monreal though ahead of Monday’s FA Cup quarter-final against Manchester United: “Monreal might come back - he has a test today."
