Brazil held a 2-0 lead against Senegal at the time Gabriel was restricted.
Chelsea winger Estevao broke the deadlock and Manchester United midfielder Casemiro extended the lead.

Gabriel has emerged as a key figure behind Arsenal’s impressive start to the season and his potential absence could be a major setback for Mikel Arteta’s side.

The summer signing from Bayer Leverkusen was used as a left-sided centre-back in Arsenal’s Carabao Cup win over Brighton last month, but has had limited action in the league so far.
