Mikel Arteta said Gabriel asked to leave the game due to an issue, which is 'never good news'.

Arsenal lost the FA Cup game and now worry about Gabriel's fitness.

Gabriel played defense but left the game after 72 minutes. Arteta said they will check his fitness, but it doesn't look good.

Arteta said Gabriel felt something, but they don't know what it is. When a player asks to leave, it's not good news.

Gabriel started the game without his usual partner. They couldn't stop Southampton from scoring, and Gabriel left before the winning goal.

Arsenal lost two cup games in a short time. They lost to Manchester City and now to Southampton.

If Gabriel is hurt, it will be a big problem for Arsenal. They want to win the title and are ahead by nine points.

Arsenal's season just got worse after losing the FA Cup game.

Arsenal still have to play Manchester City and are in the Champions League. They face Sporting Lisbon next.

Arteta believes in his team and their methods. He wants them to keep a positive spirit and energy to win games.
