Arsenal forward Gabriel Martinelli has encountered a setback during his international duty with Brazil, suffering a calf injury that has raised concerns among fans. The injury occurred during a training session with the Brazilian national team, where Martinelli was seen wearing tape and accompanied by the team doctor.

The Brazilian Football Confederation (CBF) confirmed that Martinelli underwent an MRI scan, which revealed a small area of muscle edema in his right calf. This diagnosis means that Martinelli is experiencing swelling in the muscle, which can be quite painful and limit his mobility. Despite the injury, Martinelli will remain with the Brazil squad to receive treatment from their medical team.

Martinelli has been a crucial player for the Gunners this season, contributing significantly to their attacking prowess. His absence could be a significant blow to the team, especially with important fixtures on the horizon.

Before this injury, Martinelli had been in impressive form, scoring his second goal of the season in Arsenal’s recent 3-1 comeback win over Southampton. His performances have earned him a recall to the Brazil squad for the 2026 World Cup qualifiers, highlighting his importance to both club and country.

Arsenal fans will be hoping for a swift recovery for Martinelli, as his dynamic presence on the field is vital for the team’s success. The club’s medical staff will be closely monitoring his progress, and it remains to be seen how long he will be sidelined. In the meantime, Arsenal will need to rely on their squad depth to navigate through this period of injury issues.

This injury comes at a challenging time for Arsenal, who are already dealing with several key players’ injuries. Bukayo Saka also limped out of England’s home defeat by Greece last week and withdrew from the squad for the trip to Finland on Sunday. The Gunners are concerned about his fitness for Saturday’s Premier League game against Bournemouth
