EXCLUSIVE! MARTINELLI ARRIVES AT THE HOTEL ACCOMPANIED BY THE NATIONAL TEAM DOCTOR, AFTER AN EXAM! The striker felt discomfort in his tendon, and left to undergo an exam, after training this Sunday. At first it doesn’t seem serious, but the player is awaiting the results.
Not terribly specific, but a little more digging suggests it’s a calf problem, and he’s a doubt for Brazil’s game against Peru in the early hours of Wednesday morning. With Bukayo Saka potentially out of action for the game against Bournemouth this coming weekend, it’d be a blow if Martinelli was out too. Untimely as well, given he’d rediscovered some form in the final third with 2 goals and 2 assists in the last 3 games.
You can imagine Mikel Arteta waking up this morning, checking his phone, and then making this face at the breakfast table:
First Havertz gets sent off for kicking a ball-boy, now this. Let’s just keep fingers crossed it’s nothing too serious, but the Interlulls have not been kind to us so far this season, and with one more to come next month, we’ve got to hope there are no more issues to deal with.
