Martinelli clattered by Brazil team-mate Militao before he limps out of training

GABRIEL MARTINELLI limped out of training after being clattered by Brazil team-mate Eder Militao.

The Arsenal star pounced at the near post to meet a ball that was shipped into the box.

But Militao went for the same ball and wiped out Martinelli with a heavy challenge.

Martinelli went down and stayed down clutching his ankle, with the forward appearing to be in some agony.

Medics rushed onto the pitch and provided the Gooner with treatment for more than a minute.

He gingerly got back to his feet but had to hobble off with assistance from the physios, and appeared almost unable to put any way on his right foot.

Martinelli is now a big injury worry for Brazil ahead of the Copa America, with Dorival Junior's side kicking off their campaign against Costa Rice on Tuesday.

Arsenal team-mate Gabriel came over to check on Martinelli when he was down injured, with Gunners fans concerned about his wellbeing.

One reacted saying: "Out of season and the season haven't even started."

Another added: "The tackle was too hard… Get well Marti, we love you."

A third wrote: "Older brother big Gabi. Warms my heart."

And another commented: "It wasn't a collision, it was a reckless and needless tackle."
