Arsenal attacker set to miss over a month of action following injury – Ornstein

Arsenal’s Gabriel Martinelli is reportedly set to miss more than a month after picking up a hamstring injury during Wednesday’s League Cup defeat at Newcastle.

The Athletic’s David Ornstein has reported that assessments suggest the 23-year-old Brazilian winger will be sidelined for key Premier League games – including Leicester City, West Ham, and Nottingham Forest. He’s also doubtful about the clash with Manchester United on March 9 and the home game against Chelsea, which will be held a week later.

With Arsenal also competing in the Champions League round of 16 during this period, Martinelli’s absence is a major setback. This is especially true as the team is already thin in attack.

“I’ll NEVER say sorry!” – which ex-Arsenal star says he was “really p***ed off” with how he was treated before leaving?

However, there’s optimism that he will return in time for the final two months of the season, where he could play a crucial role in Arsenal’s campaign.
