Arsenal have been dealt a fresh injury blow as Gabriel Martinelli suffered a hamstring injury during their match against Newcastle United. The Brazilian forward, a key part of Mikel Arteta’s attacking setup, was forced off the pitch, raising concerns over how long he might be sidelined.
Martinelli’s Injury: How Serious Is It?
Initial reports suggest that Martinelli sustained a hamstring strain, which will require further assessment in the coming days. Arsenal’s medical team will conduct scans to determine the extent of the injury and how long he will be out of action. If it’s a minor strain, he could return within two to three weeks, but a more severe issue could see him miss a longer period of crucial games.
Arsenal’s Growing Injury List
Martinelli joins a list of Arsenal players currently recovering from injuries, adding to Mikel Arteta’s squad concerns. Here’s an update on some of the other key absences:
Bukayo Saka – Recently dealing with a minor knock, expected to return soon.
Thomas Partey – Out with a muscle injury, with no exact return date confirmed.
Jorginho – Recovering from a minor fitness issue, could return in the coming weeks.
William Saliba – Struggling with a back injury, aiming for a comeback by the end of February.
What This Means for Arsenal
With crucial Premier League and European matches coming up, Arteta will need to manage his squad carefully. Martinelli’s absence could open the door for other attackers like Leandro Trossard or Reiss Nelson to step up and fill the void.
Arsenal fans will be eagerly awaiting updates from the club’s medical staff, hoping that Martinelli’s injury isn’t too serious and that he can return quickly to help the team push for success in the final months of the season.
