Arsenal have been dealt a series of early-season injury blows, with several key players sidelined for extended periods. Among those absent is team captain Martin Odegaard, as the Gunners navigate through a challenging stretch of the campaign.
The international break may have arrived at a favourable time for Mikel Arteta’s side, offering a chance for injured players to recover without the added pressure of missing more games.
Arteta has remained tight-lipped regarding the return of Odegaard, but recent footage released by the club shows the Norwegian making progress. Odegaard, who suffered an ankle injury during the September international break, was seen running in a rehabilitation chamber.
