Arsenal’s injury worries under Mikel Arteta’s management appear to be under control as only a handful of key players are currently nursing notable injuries, offering a positive outlook for the club during the March international break.
One player of concern was Gabriel Martinelli, the Brazilian winger, who was substituted during Arsenal’s recent 6-0 victory over Sheffield United due to a foot injury.
Arteta addressed Martinelli’s situation alongside other squad considerations following the win. Fortunately, Martinelli’s injury didn’t seem severe as he was seen using crutches after Arsenal’s 2-1 win against Brentford, likely as a precautionary measure to aid his recovery from the foot injury.
Before Arsenal’s Champions League match against Porto, Arteta provided an injury update, mentioning Martinelli’s absence from training but expressing hope for his speedy recovery.
Martinelli’s withdrawal from the Brazil squad for the March internationals due to his injury further emphasized its seriousness, with other key Brazilian players also sidelined due to various knocks.
Despite this setback, there’s optimism that Martinelli will be fit in time for Arsenal’s crucial Premier League clash against Manchester City after the international break. Martinelli’s past performances against City, including scoring the winning goal in their previous encounter, highlight his importance to Arteta’s strategy.
Throughout the season, the 22-year-old has been a key contributor to Arsenal’s campaigns, featuring prominently in Premier League matches and showcasing his versatility with goals and assists from the left wing. His impact in the Champions League has also been notable, particularly against teams like Sevilla and Lens, underscoring his significance to Arteta’s squad dynamics.
