In a disappointing semi-final exit against Newcastle, Arsenal's Gabriel Martinelli suffered a hamstring injury, leaving the pitch in the first half. Manager Mikel Arteta indicated that further assessment through an MRI scan would be necessary to gauge the injury's severity. Martinelli's absence poses a significant challenge for Arsenal as they already face a lack of attacking depth with Gabriel Jesus sidelined by injury. The team, which has recently been eliminated in both FA and EFL cup competitions, will focus on their upcoming Premier League match against Leicester City.
Arteta confirmed the injury, stating, "He felt something, I think it was his hamstring, and he wasn't comfortable to continue. We will have to have an MRI scan."
The loss of Martinelli is particularly damaging for Arsenal, who are already without Gabriel Jesus due to an anterior cruciate ligament injury, limiting their attacking options.
