  "account": "Former Arsenal striker Ian Wright has criticized the club for the way they have treated Gabriel Martinelli, expressing his disappointment in the treatment of the 25-year-old winger. Martinelli, who made 53 appearances last season and scored 11 goals, was left out of Arsenal's squad for their league opener against Coventry and also omitted from their Community Shield victory against Manchester City. Wright, speaking on Sky Sports, said that Martinelli deserves more respect from the club and that there are ways to handle his potential exit that would suit him. He questioned the club's decision to not involve Martinelli in the squad and not to communicate with him about his future. Wright also noted that Martinelli has been a popular member of the team since joining Arsenal in 2019 and that it is unfortunate for him that he is being treated in such a manner.",
