Already deprived of Gabriel Jesus until the end of the season and Bukayo Saka since the end of November, the Arsenal attack was still amputated by a new member this Wednesday. Released at the half-time of the EFL Cup's return semi-final against Newcastle, Gabriel Martinelli could be absent for more than a month because of a muscle problem in the hamstrings, according to Sky Sports. From now on, Kai Havertz, Raheem Sterling and Ethan Nwaneri are the latest job attackers still valid in the workforce of Mikel Arteta.
A problem that highlights the lack of arsenal investment on the winter transfer window to find a joker. The Gunners have suffered the refusals of Matheus Cunha and Ollie Watkins, and could not make the negotiations around Mathys Tel and Benjamin Sesko, the first even joining the London rival, Tottenham. “We had a clear intention, which is always the same: to improve the workforce with players who can do so, especially in attack. We did not succeed ”noted with disappointment Mikel Arteta when evoking inactivity on the transfer window.
