Arsenal secured a 2-1 win over Brentford at Emirates Stadium on Saturday and will now shift attention towards the Champions League game against FC Porto on Tuesday. They lost 1-0 to the Portuguese in the first-leg of the round of 16 fixtures and will be desperate to overturn the result and book a place in the quarter-finals. Arsenal may have to do so without Gabriel Martinelli as the Brazilian was left out of the matchday squad that faced the Bees having failed to recover from the injury he sustained against Sheffield United on Monday.
According to Football London, the Gunners attacking midfielder was seen wearing a protective boot and walking with the aid of crutches at the Emirates Stadium on his way to the dressing room after the game this evening.

The injury does not look good and it is safe to say Tuesday will come too early for the 22-year-old.
