Arsenal give huge boost as forward Gabriel Martinelli returns to training just days after ankle injury in warm-up left him in tears as Mikel Arteta's side prepare for Crystal Palace clash

Arsenal have been handed a boost ahead of Thursday's game against Crystal Palace after Gabriel Martinelli returned to training today.

The Brazilian striker was left in tears before Saturday's FA Cup third round win against Newcastle after having to withdraw from the starting line-up after picking up an ankle injury in the warm-up.

But a scan on Tuesday revealed no lasting damage and the 19-year-old was videoed back in training on Wednesday - to the relief of Gunners fans who feared the worst again for the teenager.
