Mikel Arteta has given latest update on Gabriel Martinelli who went off injured in Arsenal’s league game at Sheffield United.
Martinelli contributed to Arsenal’s 6-0 victory at Bramall Lane by scoring the game’s third goal as Arsenal maintained their place in the Premier League title race.
The 22-year-old scored his eighth goal of the season in all competitions by finding the net in the 15th minute, but was later subbed off amid concerns over his fitness.
He emerged for the second half before being withdrawn as he limped towards the touchline with the help of the visitors’ medical staff.
Speaking on the injury Arteta later revealed the winger suffered a cut and was unable to continue in the match, sparking concern amongst supporters ahead of an upcoming run of crucial games.
Speaking to Sky Sports via Daily Mail at full time, Arteta stated: “Gabi is just a cut, a light cut and we see how he is.”
Martinelli has previously been hampered by injury this season and missed six games during a 20-day absence spanning from September to October last year.
