EPL: Arteta confirms two Arsenal players out of the season

Arsenal manager, Mikel Arteta has confirmed that Gabriel Martinelli and Oleksandr Zinchenko will play no further part this season.

Arteta revealed this during his press conference on Friday, ahead of the trip to Nottingham Forest tomorrow.

Martinelli injured his ankle following a tackle from Brighton’s Moises Caicedo last weekend.

Zinchenko was not even part of Arteta’s matchday squad for the game at the Emirates.

Both players will now miss the last two fixtures against Forest and Wolves.

“They are both out for the rest of the season. Gabi is a pretty nasty injury, we need to assess next week how long, but he will be out for at least weeks.

“With Alex, he has a calf issue and he won’t be able to play the next few games,” Arteta said.
