  /  autty

Gabriel Martinelli has been ruled out of the remainder of the Premier League season after suffering ankle ligament damage during Arsenal's 3-0 defeat against Brighton last week

Both players missed the defeat against Nottingham Forest and will be absent for the final match of the campaign against Wolverhampton Wanderers. Arteta has now been handed a fresh update on Martinelli after the Brazilian was spotted wearing his protective boot in a post on social media.

The normal recovery time for ankle ligament damage would see Martinelli return in six to eight weeks after his injury. If this is the case with the 21-year-old, he will return to training towards the end of June - making him available to take part in pre-season training.
