Team’s 0-0 draw in the Premier League<\/span> on Thursday.<\/p>\nBradley was writhing in pain near the sideline after clearing the field in stoppage time after landing awkwardly on his left ankle.<\/p>\n
Clearly frustrated, Martinelli walked up to Bradley, dropped the ball, and drove his knee into the side, sending the defender rolling off the playing surface.<\/p>\n
Liverpool’s players were furious and jostling and shoving broke out between members of each team. Martinelli received the reservation.<\/p>\n
Speaking to Sky Sports, former England and Manchester United defender Gary Neville criticized Martinelli’s actions, calling them “absolutely disgraceful”.<\/p>\n
After the game, Slott said of Bradley’s injury, “I hope for the best, but I fear the worst with Conor Bradley.”<\/p>\n
“If our player was on the floor, people might know by now that there is something wrong with him. I think you can see that,” the Dutchman added.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe didn’t want to see one of our players being moved off the pitch if there was the possibility of a serious injury, but that remains to be seen.\u201d<\/p>\n
Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta defended Martinelli, saying “he probably doesn’t know” that Bradley was injured.<\/p>\n
“Because knowing Gabi, there was zero intent,” he said. “I don’t know what happened to Connor. I hope he’s not a bad guy. Obviously Gabi doesn’t have any intentions of doing anything bad to him.”<\/p>\n
“I think the health of the players is much more important than anything else,” Liverpool midfielder Dominik Szoboszlai said when asked about the incident.<\/p>\n
