Arsenal suffer training ground injury scare as Gabriel Martinelli leaves today’s session early before returning
Arsenal had an open training session at the Emirates Stadium today ahead of their Premier League game against Newcastle United on Sunday, and fans were briefly left with their hearts in their mouths after an injury scare.
As shared by Gunners fan, Dan Critchlow, on X, Gabriel Martinelli initially left the session early after going down with a problem, later returning to take part in a small practice match and was seen running fine.
However, his earlier withdrawal could be a cause for concern as he appeared to be in pain before shaking it off.
Martinelli finished the 2-2 draw against Liverpool as a striker after Leandro Trossard was withdrawn and Mikel Merino got sent off, and he could be featuring there even though Kai Havertz trained with his teammates today.
Arsenal need the Brazilian available and manager Mikel Arteta and the supporters will be praying he stays fine after today.
The Gunners are currently second in the Premier League table ahead of the last two games of 2024-25 but are in need of two more points to secure a place in the league phase of next season’s Champions League.
