Arsenal deliver Tierney & Martinelli fitness updates ahead of Newcastle encounter

Arsenal have delivered updates on the fitness of Kieran Tierney and Gabriel Martinelli ahead of their encounter with Newcastle on Monday night.

Tierney, who has been one of Arsenal's standout players so far this season, was left out of a 0-0 draw with Crystal Palace last week after sustaining a muscle injury.

Mikel Arteta confirmed the news post-match, telling reporters: "He had a calf injury in training. I think he will miss a few matches. He’s another one that we will lose."

Martinelli, meanwhile, was hit with a fresh setback shortly after returning to action following his recovery from knee surgery in December.
