The FA have reportedly already spoken to Gabriel Magalhaes after Sunday’s game against Liverpool saw a flashpoint involving the defender, Jordan Henderson and Granit Xhaka.

Mail Online are reporting that The FA have already spoken to Gabriel after match officials from Sunday’s game reported an incident to the governing body.

While it is still not clear what is alleged to have been said, the ruckus that kicked-off after Arsenal were awarded a second half penalty was deemed serious enough that Michael Oliver informed both managers he would be reporting the incident to the FA.

It is believed to involve something that was allegedly said by Jordan Henderson.

The Mail claim that Gabriel is ‘relaxed’ about the whole thing but ‘has complained he heard something on the pitch.’

The FA opened their probe into the incident quickly, confirming on Sunday night that it was already underway, indicating how serious the matter might be.

On Sunday, an FA spokesperson confirmed: “We are aware of an incident that took place during the match between Arsenal and Liverpool. We are in dialogue with the match officials and will review the details of the incident.”

Oliver reportedly interviewed both Gabriel and Henderson after the game and those transcripts were handed over to The FA. The Daily Telegraph report that “One source has subsequently raised the prospect of potentially contrasting interpretations over a phrase that was used.”

According to the report above, Henderson had been expected to do Liverpool’s post-match media duties, but was ‘taken off’.

Speaking after the match, Mikel Arteta said, optimistically, “It was an incident that happened,” he said. “Whatever happens on that pitch, stays on that pitch.”

It should be noted that it is only a probe at present. It is not clear whether or not The FA will open a full investigation into the matter.

In other news from the match, Liverpool’s Luis Diaz will be out of action until after the World Cup with the knee injury he picked up while Trent Alexander-Arnold’s ankle injury will likely see him miss the rest of October.
