Liverpool manager Arne Slot said he “feared the worst” for Bradley, although he was measured in his criticism of Martinelli.
“I am 100 per cent sure that if he knew what the injury might be, he wouldn’t do that,” the Dutchman said. “But it doesn’t look great if Bradley has the injury we think he has.
“You don’t like to see a player being moved if he might have an injury.”
Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta said Martinelli would never have tried to move Bradley if he thought he was injured.
“Probably he doesn’t know because knowing Gabi, there is zero intention,” the Spaniard said.
“I don’t know what happened to Conor, but hopefully it’s not bad, but obviously, there is no intention from Gabi to do anything bad to him.”
