Gabriel Martinelli has regained his form for Arsenal at the perfect time as Mikel Arteta faces an attacking injury crisis. The Gunners are currently in Portugal to face Sporting CP in the Europa League last-16 before they return to Premier League action at Craven Cottage on Sunday against Fulham.
Two back-to-back away games in different competitions will certainly test Arteta and his players, especially as the current league leaders could be facing a mini-injury crisis. Leandro Trossard, Eddie Nketiah and Kieran Tierney are all doubts for the clash, while Gabriel Jesus and Emile Smith Rowe are at different stages of their recoveries from injury.
Jesus returned to full first-team training on Wednesday and could be in the squad for Thursday's game. "For sure, a big one," Martinelli revealed when asked how much of a boost having Jesus back would be. "He is a great guy and a great player. I have said it many times, but for me he is one of the best in the world. For sure, he is going to help us a lot in the next few months."
