Gabriel Martinelli has become the latest Arsenal star to suffer an injury scare while away on international duty.
The Gunners lost captain Odegaard after he suffered an ankle injury while playing for Norway last month and star man Saka picked up a knock in England’s 2-1 defeat to Greece on Thursday.
And the Brazilian Football Confederation have now announced that Martinelli has had an MRI scan on his right calf which “showed a small area of muscle edema in the area”. However, he has remained with the squad rather than returning to Arsenal for treatment.

Rice hails Carsley
Declan Rice says interim England boss Lee Carsley has been “amazing”, with the Arsenal star praising his man-management and coaching skills.
“I think he has been unbelievable,” Rice told BBC Radio 5 Live when asked about Carsley. ” It’s my first time working with him because I haven’t worked with the under-21s, but the 21s boys that have come in couldn’t speak highly enough of him.
“We as senior players are not surprised but we have said how good he was in meetings and games and how he takes training. He is one of those managers…look at Jack Grealish, he put an arm around him, gave him confidence, they are the type of things players love and Lee has done that. He has been amazing for us.”
