Arsenal winger Gabriel Martinelli is spending the international break in London, gearing up for the Gunners’ crucial Premier League showdown against Manchester City.
Despite missing the recent league match against Brentford and the Champions League fixture against Porto due to a foot injury, the 22-year-old appears to be actively preparing for his return.
Martinelli shared glimpses of his London outing on Instagram, strolling through Covent Garden. His presence has been pivotal in Arsenal’s pursuit of the Premier League title this season, having featured in 25 matches, contributing six goals, and delivering four assists.
As Arsenal braces for the challenge against Manchester City, Martinelli’s potential return adds a boost to the team’s morale and attacking prowess, heightening anticipation among fans for his impactful comeback.
Arsenal supporters are fervently wishing for a swift recovery from the injury setback.
The Gunners are set to resume their campaign on Sunday, facing off against title contenders Man City at the Etihad Stadium.
A triumph for Arsenal would propel them four points clear of Pep Guardiola’s side, securing the top spot in the table. Conversely, a defeat would see City overtake Arsenal in the standings.
Currently leading the table on goal difference, Mikel Arteta’s squad aims to extend their remarkable run with a ninth consecutive league victory. Arsenal’s superb form has seen them score an impressive 33 goals in their last eight Premier League outings.
Following the City showdown, Arsenal will host Luton Town at the Emirates Stadium just three days later. Subsequently, they embark on a trip to Brighton the following Saturday, marking what could be a pivotal week in the title race.
