This weekend, Mikel Arteta's team will be facing AFC Bournemouth in a highly anticipated match. However, the injury woes for Arsenal seem to be never-ending as the news of Brazilian sensation Gabriel Martinelli undergoing an MRI scan breaks out.
After the international break, the Gunners are back in action for the Premier League and are set to travel to the south coast to take on Bournemouth. Unfortunately, Arteta might have to make do without some of his key players for this game. Buyako Saka, who was representing England, has picked up a hamstring injury and his availability for the match is uncertain. In addition, Kai Havertz and Martin Odegaard are also out of the picture due to a knee injury and a November return date, respectively.
Moreover, doubts still loom over the availability of Ben White, Jurrien Timber, and Oleksandr Zinchenko for the game against the Cherries. To add to the already grim situation, Martinelli has complained of discomfort in his right calf and will not be able to play for Brazil in their upcoming match against Peru. The 23-year-old had come on as a substitute in Brazil's recent win against Chile.
However, Martinelli's injury concerns are not to be taken lightly as he has been sent for a scan and Brazil's medical team will be closely monitoring his condition in the next few days. Despite a slow start to the season for Arsenal, football analyst and former player Darren Bent believes that Martinelli will bounce back and regain his form.
Bent emphasized the importance of confidence in football and how it can affect a player's performance at any level. He also highlighted Martinelli's outstanding record of 15 goals in the 2022/23 season and is hopeful that the young winger can replicate his success in the upcoming season. Bent predicts that by Christmas time, Martinelli will be in top form and will prove to be a valuable asset for Arsenal once again.
