Gabriel has the potential to make history by becoming one of the youngest players to make a Premier League debut. He is close to breaking the record set by former Manchester United goalkeeper Gaskell, who made his debut at 16 years and 19 days old in the 1956 FA Charity Shield. Gabriel will have several opportunities to make his debut in upcoming matches, including against Hull City, Ipswich Town, Everton, Manchester City, Fulham, Tottenham, Leeds United, and Bournemouth.
