The absence of Martinelli could not arrive at a worst time for Mikel Arteta, who will be without his winger on foot in the fleet for a certain number of important games of the Premier League and potentially the two legs of their Champions League of the Last Equality With one of the PSV Eindhoven, Juventus, Milan or Feyenoord.
