According to sources, one of Arsenal’s players needed additional evaluation for a muscular ailment while on international duty, giving them yet another serious injury concern.

After captain Martin Odegaard was injured during the previous series of international matches, Bukayo Saka suffered an injury with England, causing the Gunners to undergo a horrible international break.

More bad news has arrived for manager Mikel Arteta, who is worried about the health of a crucial first-team player who could lead to a selection problem at the Emirates.

After seeing an improvement in form, Gabriel Martinelli was summoned back to the Brazil national team and is currently overseas on international duty. However, he is currently facing a fitness concern.

The 23-year-old has started five Premier League games this season and has two goals and two assists in Arsenal’s previous five outings.

The scan revealed the Arsenal winger has suffered a ‘muscle edema’ in his right calf after playing a substitute role in Brazil’s 2-1 victory over Chile on Friday.

He will now remain in Brazil to undergo further physiotherapy and treatment on the injury with it hoped that the problem won’t keep him out of action for any significant amount of time.

Martinelli is currently doubtful for Arsenal’s Premier League title match against Bournemouth on Saturday.

Martinelli is now questionable for the match due to his most recent muscular ailment when Arsenal resumes their Premier League championship defense against Bournemouth on Saturday.

The good news for supporters of the Gunners is that Saka, who is stepping up his rehabilitation, might be ready for the match. On Sunday, England defeated Finland in the UEFA Nations League.

Interim England manager Lee Carsley provided an update on Saka’s fitness, saying, “Bukayo would have been close, but it would have been unfair to take a risk with him.”

He reassured followers, saying, “He’s a positive person and I expect him to be fine.”
