Arsenal will not have Gabriel for their Champions League quarter-final tie against Real Madrid after he was ruled out for the rest of the season.

The centre-back, who has been one of Arsenal's most key players this season, suffered a hamstring injury in the first half of Tuesday's Premier League win over Fulham, which will require surgery.

Arsenal have said the 27-year-old's aim is "to be ready for the start of next season" in a big blow ahead of a potentially season-defining Champions League tie.
