Mikel Arteta has provided the latest on Martin Odegaard’s return ahead of Arsenal’s Premier League clash with Newcastle United at St. James’ Park.
The Norwegian has been out since September after sustaining ankle ligament damage while away on international duty. He has been back in partial training for a few week now though, and is edging closer to a return to joining the rest of the squad.
The 25-year-old had been pushing hard to make it in time for Newcastle but Arteta confirmed that he is definitely out for Saturday’s match. There was more optimism though on Odegaard’s chances of making it in time for Wednesday’s Champions League clash with Inter Milan.
