Martinelli was forced off in the 59th minute of Tuesday's victory against Crystal Palace in the Carabao Cup after suffering from a knock, coach Mikel Arteta said in a press conference. "Martinelli is more of a knock and he wasn't comfortable to carry on after the second half."

Martinelli received a knock in the first half of Tuesday's victory against Crystal Palace in the Carabao Cup and was forced off right before the hour-mark as he wasn't comfortable to carry on. The winger will be assessed in the coming days to know if he can recover in time for Saturday's clash against Brighton. If he had to miss the game, Leandro Trossard will likely start on the left wing against the Seagulls.
