Gabriel Martinelli to miss rest of season as Arsenal forward discovers extent of injury

Gabriel Martinelli will not play again this season, with the Arsenal winger ruled out for the remainder of the campaign following ankle ligament damage suffered against Brighton.

Marinelli, 21, left the Emirates Stadium in a protective boot, raising fears that the injury may be significant enough to rule him out of the Gunners' final three games of the season. This was confirmed on Wednesday, with the Athletic confirming the full extent of the Brazilian's injury.

The Brazilian was withdrawn before half-time in the 3-0 defeat to the Seagulls, with a tackle from Arsenal transfer target Moises Caicedo resulting in his substitution. The Brighton midfielder has since expressed his regret over the challenge, with a summer move to Arsenal still on the cards for the Ecuador international.
