Arsenal’s injury woes have continued, with a report stating Gabriel Martinelli is now injured and out of action for the rest of the season.
Arsenal has two more Premier League games to play as they look to end on a high, even though they have most certainly lost the league crown to Manchester City.
Martinelli has been a key player for the club and is one of their stars who have hit double figures for goals in the campaign already.
The fans have taken to him and like how the Brazilian performs for the team, but they have seen him playing for the last time this season.
A report in The Daily Mail reveals Martinelli suffered ligament damage in the match against Brighton and will no longer be available to play for the club this season.
Just Arsenal Opinion
Martinelli has been a key player for us this season and it is sad to lose him to injury. However, the good thing is that the season is almost over, and he will miss just two games.
Hopefully, he will be fit for the start of pre-season and help us achieve more in the next campaign, especially as we return to the Champions League.

It is sad that Martinelli’s injury was a result of dangerous slide from the back. The world watched with awe how the English referee ignored issuing card to Caicedo. The English referees should improve their conducts in managing EPL games mostly when Arsenal is involved. How many English referees are engaged in FIFA World Cup matches?
Good call, Eke. I’ve often said the same myself. The worst of all was the ref in the World Cup final in 1974 whose name I forget. Personally I think it’s because English referees are more easily taken in by “simulators” when refereeing non-English teams and behave completely different when refereeing in the Premiership. Okay, I’m not looking for excuses for the Brighton game especially where Jesus is concerned but everyone agrees the referee had a shocker, and did not handle the Martinelli – Caceido situation competently. You’re completely right.
He also ignored Martinellis challenge 2 mins before which resulted in retaliation.
I hope Martinelli is not seriously injured as no one has worked harder for the cause this season than he has.In fact ,Arteta could justifiably be accused of overplaying the young man and Saka this season.
