Gabriel Martinelli, Thomas Partey – Arsenal injuries and return dates for the North London Derby

Arsenal welcome Tottenham Hotspur to the Emirates Stadium this afternoon in what is set to be an important North London Derby for both teams. Spurs have won each of their last four Premier League outings following their opener at Brentford.

Similarly, the Gunners have also collected 13 points from their first five league games, a tally that only Pep Guardiola’s Manchester City have bettered. But Mikel Arteta’s side are without several key players for today’s game due to injury, with the likes of Jurrien Timber and Thomas Partey both on the treatment table after their long-term issues.




Left winger Gabriel Martinelli is also a doubt to face the Lillywhites after the Brazilian international picked up a hamstring problem against Everton last weekend. With all that said, football.london takes a look at the latest Arsenal injury news.

Gabriel Martinelli

Arsenal star Gabriel Martinelli suffered a hamstring injury during the win over Everton. The Brazilian winger looks set for a period on the sidelines of Champions League football when he returns to the Emirates Stadium this week – ahead of this weekend’s North London Derby against Tottenham.

Martinelli missed training on Friday ahead of the Premier League clash against Spurs at the Emirates Stadium.

What Mikel Arteta said: “With Gaby we are still evaluating him and so we will see if he can play the game or not.”

When asked if Martinelli was out of the game against the Lillywhites, the Spaniard simply replied: “No.”

Return date: Unknown
