EPL: Two Arsenal Players Will Not Return This Season, According To Arteta

Oleksandr Zinchenko and Gabriel Martinelli won't be participating in any more games for Arsenal this year, according to manager Mikel Arteta.

Before the team's travel to Nottingham Forest tomorrow, Arteta made this announcement during his news conference on Friday.

Following a challenge from Moises Caicedo of Brighton last weekend, Martinelli suffered an ankle injury.

Even Arteta's matchday roster for the game at the Emirates did not include Zinchenko.

Now, neither player will be available for the final two games against Forest and Wolves.

"They are both out for the rest of the season. Gabi is a pretty nasty injury, we need to assess next week how long, but he will be out for at least weeks.

"With Alex, he has a calf issue and he won't be able to play the next few games," Arteta said.
