JURRIEN TIMBER insists ‘Arsenal have a squad capable of dealing with Gabriel's devastating injury blow.

The Brazilian defender has been an integral part of the side that kept a club-record-equalling eight clean sheets in a row before the 2-2 draw with Sunderland last time out.

But the big centre-back will miss today's north London derby after injuring his thigh playing for Brazil last weekend.

Arsenal right-back Timber is convinced though his side can cope.
