Arsenal injury update: The most recent news and return dates for Ethan Nwaneri, Bukayo Saka, and Gabriel Martinelli At the weekend,
Arsenal suffered a potentially detrimental loss to West Ham due to their failure to exert additional pressure on Liverpool in the Premier League title competition.
Although the Gunners had the potential to draw within five points of the league leaders for a brief period of 24 hours, they were unable to capitalise on the opportunity, as they suffered a disappointing 1-0 loss at the Emirates Stadium.
Afterward, Mikel Arteta, who was dissatisfied with his team’s performance, expressed his desire for them to endure the remainder of the weekend, stating that it had left him “very, very angry.” To exacerbate the situation, Arsenal’s prodigy, Myles Lewis-Skelly, is currently facing a suspension following his straight red card against the Hammers.
Consequently, he will be unable to participate in the high-profile match at Nottingham Forest on Wednesday. The Gunners are fortunate in that they possess a depth of strength in defence; however, their attack remains a concern and is unlikely to progress in the near future, especially in terms of personnel. Having said that, the most recent Arsenal injuries are as follows:
Gabriel Martinelli On February 5, Gabriel Martinelli sustained a hamstring injury during a match against Newcastle. He was compelled to leave the pitch in the 37th minute after collapsing and clutching the back of his thigh at St James’ Park. He is expected to be sidelined for approximately one month.
Martinelli is expected to be absent from the match against Nottingham Forest and is uncertain for the first leg of the Champions League’s last 16. Although he is currently ahead of Bukayo Saka in terms of his recuperation. “I am uncertain,” Arteta responded to media last week when asked if the duo would be available to face PSV.
“That is a question for the physician.” Both of them are progressing exceptionally well. It is likely that Gabi Martinelli is slightly ahead of Bukayo in terms of the severity of the injury. However, we will need to assess the boys’ emotions, the previous weeks, and our preparedness for the subsequent stages.
