Martinelli received the reservation.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Connor and I have messaged and have already apologized to him,&#8221; Martinelli wrote. <span class=\"LinkEnhancement\">Post to Instagram<\/span>. &#8220;I really couldn&#8217;t understand how the heat at that time could have seriously injured him.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;We deeply apologize for the way we reacted. We will once again do our best to help Connor recover quickly.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Liverpool manager Arn Slott said of Bradley&#8217;s injury: &#8220;We hope for the best, but we fear the worst for Conor Bradley.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;If our player was on the floor, people might know by now that there&#8217;s something wrong with that player. I think you can tell,&#8221; Slott said.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe didn&#8217;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<p>Speaking to Sky Sports, former England and Manchester United defender Gary Neville criticized Martinelli&#8217;s actions, calling them &#8220;absolutely disgraceful&#8221;.<\/p>\n<p>Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta defended Martinelli, saying &#8220;he probably doesn&#8217;t know&#8221; that Bradley was injured.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Because knowing Gabi, there was zero intent,&#8221; he said. &#8220;I don&#8217;t know what happened to Connor. I hope he&#8217;s not a bad guy. Obviously Gabi doesn&#8217;t have any intentions of doing anything bad to him.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I think the health of the players is much more important than anything else,&#8221; Liverpool midfielder Dominik Szoboszlai said when asked about the incident.<\/p>\n<p>___<\/p>\n<p>AP Soccer: <span class=\"LinkEnhancement\">https:\/\/apnews.com\/hub\/soccer<\/span><\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p><br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/apnews.com\/article\/arsenal-liverpool-martinelli-7fcbd238d36f66b080e385906602aa6d\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>LONDON (AP) \u2014 Arsenal winger Gabriel Martinelli apologized to Conor Bradley after he bundled the injured Liverpool defender off the field in the final moments of the game.
