Martinelli offers positive update after seven-month Arsenal absence with knee injury

Gabriel Martinelli claims to be “feeling very well” as he looks to bring a seven-month injury-enforced absence at Arsenal to a close.

The highly-rated Brazilian forward has been out of action since March 2.

He was laid low shortly after an FA Cup outing against Portsmouth, with a knee problem keeping him stuck on the sidelines.

Mikel Arteta was unable to call upon the talented 19-year-old after Project Restart, meaning that the South American starlet missed out on an FA Cup triumph.

He was also denied the chance to figure in a successful Community Shield clash with Liverpool or any of Arsenal’s early fixtures in 2020-21.
