But the 19-year-old Brazilian on Monday confirmed he is fit to travel to Prague.
‘I am all right to play on Thursday,’ Martinelli said. ‘I am feeling a bit tired but I’m so happy with the goal and even happier with the three points.
‘I work every single day in training, you need to prepare yourself because when Mikel Arteta needs you, you need to be there and show something.’
Arsenal drew 1-1 in the first leg of the quarter-final against Slavia last week and will be without defenders David Luiz and Kieran Tierney for the return. Martin Odegaard and Emile Smith Rowe are also injury doubts for the trip.
