ArsenalAssists against Sporting
Martinelli assisted once to go with one shot (one on goal) and one chance created in Tuesday's 1-0 win versus Sporting CP.
Analysis: Martinelli created a single chance that was crucial for the only goal that was scored during Tuesday's clash. The winger made the most of his chance to set up Kai Havertz during Tuesday's showdown. Martinelli also put a single shot on goal to round off a nice showing. He will hope to close out the tie in London for the second leg.
Assists in victory
Martinelli assisted once to go with one shot (one on goal), four crosses (one accurate) and one corner in Saturday's 2-0 win versus Everton.
Analysis: Martinelli's touch started the Arsenal counterattack Saturday, leaving the Everton goalkeeper stranded in the opponent box late in the second half for Arsenal to walk in their second goal in a 2-0 win.Across his last five appearances (three starts) in all competitions, the veteran attacker has assisted twice and created four chances from five shots (one on goal) and 13 crosses (four accurate). After being a key member of the Arsenal starting XI since the 2022/23 campaign, Martinelli has made just nine starts across his 25 Premier League appearances in the 2025/26 campaign.
Six crosses in draw
Martinelli generated two shots (zero on goal), six crosses (three accurate) and one chance created in Wednesday's 1-1 draw versus Bayer Leverkusen. In addition, he was given a yellow card in the 26th minute.
Analysis: Martinelli led the Arsenal attack Wednesday with six crosses (three accurate) as they played to a 1-1 stalemate at Bayer Leverkusen. Across his last three appearances (three starts) in all competitions, the veteran attacker has created three chances from nine crosses (three accurate) and four shots (zero on goal). Martinelli's six Champions League goals across eight appearances (five starts) mark a career high in a single European competition.
Struggles in service
Martinelli registered two shots (one on goal), six crosses (one accurate) and two chances created in Wednesday's 2-2 draw versus Wolverhampton.
Analysis: The winger put up six crosses, but only one was considered accurate in a lackluster showing. Martinelli did not take advantage of a favorable matchup but he should have a role against Tottenham. Spurs are struggling at the moment and Martinelli has a great opportunity to exploit a defense which has conceded 37 goals in 26 league matches.
Second straight assist off bench
Martinelli assisted once to go with one shot (one on goal) and one chance created in Saturday's 3-0 win versus Sunderland.
Analysis: Martinelli contributed significantly in 30 minutes as a substitute, taking one shot on target and providing an assist for Viktor Gyokeres following a solo run. The winger had spent the previous three league games on the bench behind Leandro Trossard since being substituted at halftime against Nottingham Forest, but he has now recorded assists in two consecutive substitute appearances.
Gets assist off bench
Martinelli assisted once to go with one shot (one on goal), two crosses (one accurate) and one chance created in Saturday's 4-0 victory versus Leeds United.
Analysis: Martinelli made his presence felt despite playing a limited role, a sign he's capable of delivering in any situation. The winger might get more run against Sunderland should Arsenal struggle to break through a defense which has only given up 26 goals in 23 league matches.
Gets on scoresheet
Martinelli scored one goal to go with four shots (two on goal), five crosses (three accurate) and four chances created in Wednesday's 3-2 win versus Kairat.
Analysis: The winger had a productive evening with a goal on four shots and four chances created. Martinelli continues to show why he deserves playing time and he could find himself back in the starting lineup against Leeds on Saturday. It's a good matchup too, with Leeds conceding 38 times in 23 domestic games.
Poor in front of goal
Martinelli recorded four shots (zero on goal) and two crosses (one accurate) in Saturday's 0-0 draw against Nottingham Forest.
Analysis: It was a rare poor showing for Martinelli, who didn't put any of his attempts on frame in a start. The winger probably gets moved to the bench for Tuesday's UCL match against a tough Inter Milan defense, which has only conceded four goals in six UCL games.
Makes bench Saturday
Martinelli (undisclosed) is on the bench for Saturday's game against Brighton.
Analysis: Martinelli left the win over Crystal Palace in the EFL Cup on Tuesday due to a knock, but the issue wasn't serious, and the Brazilian will be an option off the bench in this one. Leandro Trossard will start in the attacking line next to Bukayo Saka and Viktor Gyokeres.
Dealing with knock
Martinelli was forced off in the 59th minute of Tuesday's victory against Crystal Palace in the Carabao Cup after suffering from a knock, coach Mikel Arteta said in a press conference. "Martinelli is more of a knock and he wasn't comfortable to carry on after the second half."
Analysis: Martinelli received a knock in the first half of Tuesday's victory against Crystal Palace in the Carabao Cup and was forced off right before the hour-mark as he wasn't comfortable to carry on. The winger will be assessed in the coming days to know if he can recover in time for Saturday's clash against Brighton. If he had to miss the game, Leandro Trossard will likely start on the left wing against the Seagulls.
Struggles in front of goal
Martinelli had four shots (zero on goal) and one cross (zero accurate) in Saturday's 2-1 win against Wolverhampton.
Analysis: The winger didn't put any of his attempts on target and was part of a generally lackluster effort from Arsenal offensively. It won't get much easier for Martinelli if he does get the start against Everton, a side which has kept four clean sheets in its last six matches.
Great offensive showing
Martinelli scored one goal to go with two shots (one on goal), nine crosses (three accurate) and three corners in Wednesday's 3-0 victory against Club Brugge.
Analysis: Martinelli was a complete threat offensively, scoring while also providing decent service and taking corner kicks. The winger should be in line for another start in a favorable matchup against Wolves, a team at the bottom of the EPL table which has conceded 33 times in domestic play.
Scores on breakaway
Martinelli scored one goal to go with one shot (one on goal) in Wednesday's 3-1 victory over Bayern Munich.
Analysis: The speedy winger made a nice touch to avoid Manuel Neuer on an aerial ball and put in Arsenal's third goal in the open net. Martinelli has been solid this season and should see the field in some capacity on Sunday against Chelsea, though scoring another goal might be a challenge. Chelsea have only conceded 11 times in 12 EPL matches this season.
Makes squad
Martinelli (strain) is on the bench for Sunday's match against Tottenham.
Analysis: Martinelli was a late call, but after some testing, he is an option for the North London Derby. The attacker is settling for more of a rotational option this season and is likely to continue in that spot, earning time off the bench regularly but only earning starts here and there.
Could make North London Derby
Martinelli (strain) is questionable for Sunday's match against Tottenham, according to manager Mikel Arteta. "We've put in a lot of energy during the international break, with all the medical staff as well, to try to bring them as quickly as possible. So tomorrow we have another training session, see how some of them are feeling, whether it's a bit too close for this game, or we feel that they can make a contribution in the game. So tomorrow we have more clarity."
Analysis: Martinelli was known to be out until the international break, but is now on the verge of a return, with a possibility of featuring against Tottenham. He will need to go through some training Saturday, with that possibly deciding if he can play. He has only started in four of his 11 appearances this campaign, likely to see a bench spot if an option.
Out until international break
Martinelli (strain) is targeting a return for a Nov. 23 north London derby, according to James McNicholas of The Athletic.
Analysis: Martinelli is expected to be out until after the international break due to a muscle injury. The winger has hopes of returning immediately after the break, so there's some hope that it's not serious. Leandro Trossard should take on more minutes while Martinelli is sidelined.
Still not ready to return
Martinelli (undisclosed) won't be available for Saturday's clash against Burnley, coach Mikel Arteta said in the press conference. "Martinelli is still out."
Analysis: Martinelli is nearing a return from injury, but Saturday's game against the Clarets is coming too soon for him. His absence will still not impact the starting XI since he has started only four of his 11 appearances for the Gunners this season.
Still needs further testing
Martinelli (undisclosed) is out for Wednesday's Carabao Cup match against Brighton and is in need of more testing, according to manager Mikel Arteta, per Simon Collings of The Standard. "[Martinelli] looks as well that he is going to be out. We have to, again, do some more tests and see the extent of the injury. But this game is going to be too early for him."
Analysis: Martinelli was set for assessment after he was seen hobbling down the tunnel following Sunday's match and will miss further time, still seeking further assessment on his injury. This will leave him questionable heading into the weekend, also a late call to face Burnley on Saturday. This just adds to the club's injuries in the attacking department, with Leandro Trossard, Bukayo Saka and Viktor Gyokeres as their three remaining attackers.
Set for assessment
Martinelli is set for assessment after feeling discomfort at the end of Sunday's 1-0 win over Crystal Palace, according to manager Mikel Arteta, per Simon Collings of The Standard.
Analysis: Martinelli only entered the field in the 66th minute as a substitute but appears to have suffered an injury, with the attacer admitting to feeling some pain at the end of the game. This will leave him hor assessment in the following days to ensure nothing major has taken place. He has earned more of a rotational role this season, although they will hope he can remain fit to keep around for depth purposes.
Scores in victory
Martinelli scored one goal to go with two shots (one on goal), one cross (zero accurate) and two chances created in Tuesday's 4-0 victory against Atletico Madrid.
Analysis: The winger had a beautiful shot to give Arsenal a 2-0 lead Tuesday. There's been speculation about Martinelli potentially leaving the club but he continues to deliver for Mikel Arteta. He's likely to be in the starting lineup again Sunday against Crystal Palace.
