Details: According to The Athletic, 24-year-old Brazilian winger for London’s Arsenal, Gabriel Martinelli, will not face disciplinary action from the FA committee following the incident in yesterday’s match against Liverpool, where he kicked and threw the ball at the injured “Scousers” defender Conor Bradley.

It is reported that the FA disciplinary committee will not review the episode, since the main referee, Anthony Taylor, saw the incident in full and decided to book Martinelli with a yellow card during the match itself.

According to FA regulations, such incidents are rarely reviewed for harsher punishment unless they are deemed extremely violent.

Sources also note that Martinelli’s public apology to Bradley after the match played a significant role in the committee’s decision.
