Martinelli and Bellerin doubts for Leeds clash

Arsenal duo Hector Bellerin and Gabriel Martinelli are doubts for Monday night’s FA Cup third-round clash with Leeds United.

As reported on the club’s official website, the duo are being assessed by the club’s medical staff ahead of the encounter at the Emirates Stadium.

Both managers are expected to make plenty of changes for the cup clash and the Gunners had hoped that Bellerin and Martinelli could play some part.

Bellerin has been suffering from a right hamstring issue, complaining of tightness in the muscle.

As for Martinelli, he has been having problems with his left hamstring, also feeling some tightness in the area.

This match is a good opportunity for both players to get back into competitive action but it may come too soon.

Fans will be hoping that they can pass their fitness tests but Mikel Arteta is still unlikely to rush them both back into the starting lineup.
