Mikel Arteta has had his hands tied behind his back in terms of selection recently.

The Arsenal boss had Albert Sambi Lokonga as his only fit senior central midfielder for games against Nottingham Forest, Liverpool and Burnley last month amid suspensions for Granit Xhaka and Thomas Partey and Mohamed Elneny being away at AFCON.

To add to that the Spaniard has seen his squad depth gutted in January by the departures of Ainsley Maitland-Niles, Flo Balogun, Pablo Mari, Sead Kolasinac, Calum Chambers and Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang.

And now as the Gunners boss prepares for a crucial Premier League clash with Brentford, he is set to be without another vitally important player.

Gabriel Martinelli was sent off in bizarre circumstances during Thursday night's 1-0 win over Wolves, as the Brazilian was shown two consecutive yellow cards for fouls within the same sequence of play.

After the game, Arteta described the incident as something he had never seen in his 18 years in English football, but once the outrage subsided the reality that he will be without another member of his squad due to suspension for next Saturday's game at the Emirates Stadium
