Arsenal have been dealt a major blow ahead of this week’s fixtures, as manager Mikel Arteta has confirmed that Gabriel Martinelli has not yet fully recovered from his recent injury and could miss out again.
During his pre-match press conference, Arteta expressed frustration about the winger’s condition, admitting that the club’s medical team is still monitoring Martinelli’s progress closely.
“He’s improving, but not quite there yet. We don’t want to rush him back too soon,” Arteta said.
The Brazilian star has been a key part of Arsenal’s attacking setup, and his absence in recent games has been felt by the team’s supporters. Fans have taken to social media to express concern, especially with crucial Premier League and Champions League fixtures coming up.
If Martinelli remains sidelined, Leandro Trossard or Reiss Nelson are expected to fill in once again on the left flank.
As Arsenal aim to keep their title hopes alive, the club will be hoping for a quick recovery for their energetic winger — whose pace and creativity have been instrumental in their attack.
