Brighton midfielder Moises Caicedo has admitted he regrets fouling Arsenal star Gabriel Martinelli after his challenge injured the Brazilian international on Sunday afternoon.
Martinelli was forced off in the first half of the 3-0 defeat to the Seagulls after he was on the receiving end of a poor challenge from Caicedo in the opening exchanges of the match. Now, the Seagulls star has taken to social media to apologise, admitting that he regrets the tackle. Writing on Twitter, he said:
“If I could turn back time I wouldn't have made that bad tackle. (Shrug emoji).”After the full-time whistle, the 21-year-old was spotted wearing a protective boot as fans feared the worst.
