Gabriel Martinelli's Ian Wright admission could be exactly what Mikel Arteta and Arsenal need

Arsenal star Gabriel Martinelli has been left out of Brazil's squad for the September international break with just two months until the 2022 World Cup starts.

Martinelli has scored three goals in his opening seven appearances for the Gunners this season and has nailed down a starting spot alongside Gabriel Jesus and Bukayo Saka in attack. Emile Smith Rowe's return from injury has not seen the Brazilian winger drop out of the side, highlighting his impact on Mikel Arteta's side.

Arsenal's Brazilian trio of Martinelli, Jesus and Gabriel Magalhaes have all been left out of Tite's latest Brazil squad which may come as a blow for the former's World Cup chances in November. The talented winger had revealed his target was to feature for Brazil in Qatar later this year, but despite his impressive form he has not been selected for the internationals later this month.
