Arsenal star Gabriel Martinelli limped out of training after a heavy challenge from Brazil team-mate Eder Militao. The incident occurred when Martinelli, attempting to meet a cross at the near post, collided with Militao going for the same ball. Martinelli went down clutching his ankle, appearing to be in significant pain.
Medics rushed to provide treatment, but after more than a minute on the ground, Martinelli had to be helped off the pitch, unable to put weight on his right foot. This injury raises concerns for Brazil as they prepare for the Copa America, starting their campaign against Costa Rica on Tuesday, followed by matches against Paraguay and Colombia. Arsenal team-mate Gabriel checked on Martinelli, reflecting the worries of Gunners fans.
One fan remarked, “Out of season and the season hasn’t even started.” Another added, “The tackle was too hard… Get well Marti, we love you.” A third fan commented on the challenge, calling it “reckless and needless.” Martinelli’s fitness will be crucial for Brazil’s upcoming games.
