Mikel Arteta has revealed that the Brazilian centre-back suffered ‘an issue’ during Arsenal’s 4-0 win against Atletico Madrid in the Champions League on Tuesday night.
The 27-year-old has been one of Arsenal’s standout performers this season and has played a key role in helping the Gunners keep five clean sheets in the Premier League so far this season.
