Mikel Arteta could hand debut to Arsenal wonderkid as senior stars miss Nottingham Forest clash

Arsenal winger Gabriel Martinelli is unavailable for selection against Nottingham Forest which means Mikel Arteta will be forced into a couple of changes.

The Brazil international's outing against Brighton & Hove Albion last weekend was cut short after being on the receiving end of a strong tackle from Moises Caicedo - who ironically could be his teammate next season if recent transfer rumours are to be believed - that saw him suffer ankle ligament damage.

Having tried valiantly to carry on, the decision was made to withdraw Martinelli after 20 minutes and it's been confirmed by Arteta that he and fellow Gunners star Oleksandr Zinchenko are "both out for the rest of the season" meaning they will play no part against Forest or Wolves on the final day of the season.
