Moises Caicedo has admitted regret over the “disgraceful foul” that left Arsenal star Gabriel Martinelli injured.
The Ecuadorian midfielder crunched in on the Brazilian forward during the Gunners’ shocking 3-0 defeat to Brighton at the Emirates. The tackle left the Arsenal starlet sprawled on the turf and needing treatment from the club’s medical staff.
He attempted to play on but eventually had to be taken off and replaced by Leandro Trossard. Martinelli was later spotted in a protective boot, sparking fears that he could miss the remainder of the campaign. The incident involving Caicedo came after the Arsenal star flew into Brighton forward Kaoru Mitoma during an aerial challenge.
