Arsenal star Gabriel Martinelli has been spotted still wearing a protective boot on his left foot after suffering ankle ligament damage in the 3-0 defeat against Brighton. Moises Caicedo, who wanted to join the Gunners in January, put in a poor challenge on the Brazilian which later forced him off with an injury last weekend.
Caicedo did express regret at his tackle that hurt young player of the year nominee Martinelli, writing on social media platform Twitter: "If I could turn back time I wouldn't have made that bad tackle." Martinelli has since been ruled out of the remainder of the season and is aiming to return for Arsenal's pre-season preparations.
"Earlier this week, Arteta said: “They are both [Martinelli and Oleksandr Zinchenko] out for the rest of the season. Gabi [Martinelli] is a pretty nasty injury, we need to assess in the next week how long he will be out for and with Alex [Zinchenko] it’s a calf issue," he added.
