Arteta does not rule Martinelli out of Porto clash

Gabriel Martinelli missed Arsenal’s training ahead of their Champions League last-16 return leg against Porto due to an injury but his availability for the match was not ruled out by manager Mikel Arteta. Martinelli was injured during a 6-0 victory at Sheffield United, suffering a cut to his foot. Takehiro Tomiyasu participated in part of the training session. Gabriel Jesus, Thomas Partey, and Oleksandr Zinchenko returned to training after missing the previous match. Arsenal aims to reach the Champions League quarter-finals for the first time since 2010, having lost the first leg against Porto 1-0. Arteta emphasized the importance of fan support and the unity among the players.
