Arsenal have been given a serious boost in their hopes that they will see Martin Odegaard return to action soon. Liverpool await on Sunday in the second major Premier League title clash of Arsenal’s season.
Odegaard has been missing since the September international break with an ankle problem suffered in a collision that saw the midfielder land awkwardly. However, Norway manager Ståle Solbakken has been speaking to VG and provided a favourable update on the player.
It depends on how he responds to that, but we have a legitimate hope that he is ready.” This is certainly similar to what Mikel Arteta has said on the subject as he said before the loss to Bournemouth that the club was hoping he’d return within the seven games before the November interruption.
Speaking in Monday’s press conference, he was asked about Odegaard and Bukayo Saka, who has also been missing after an injury with England earlier this month. He said: “They are closer and both progressing really well. Martin is still not fit.
Odegaard provided supporters with an update himself in the programme for the game with Shakhtar Donetsk.
