Arsenal have confirmed why Gabriel Martinelli and Aaron Ramsdale are out of the matchday squad for today's Premier League clash against Aston Villa.
The young duo have been instrumental to the Gunners' success this season and both started on Wednesday evening during the 2-0 defeat to Jurgen Klopp's Liverpool. However, the club have now confirmed that Martinelli is ill, whilst Ramsdale is currently suffering from a hip problem, keeping them out of the squad to face Villa.
Hale End academy graduate Emile Smith Rowe has taken the Brazilian's place in the starting XI whilst German goalkeeper Bernd Leno has assumed Ramsdale's position in between the posts. Their tweet read: "Aaron Ramsdale (hip) and Gabriel Martinelli (illness) miss out on today's matchday squad."
