Arsenal have been handed some injury concerns over the international break with Mikel Arteta now sweating over the fitness of Martin Odegaard ahead of the return of the Premier League this weekend.
The Gunners travel to the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium for the North London Derby on Sunday afternoon. But they already know that they will be without two midfielders in Declan Rice and Mikel Merino, due to suspension and injury respectively.
There is now a doubt over club captain Odegaard, who has been in international action for Norway over the two week break. If he is unavailable, it would cause a real selection headache for Arteta with midfield options ahead of the clash already low.
It’s the second injury worry of the international break with new signing Riccardo Calafiori picking up a problem while away with Italy. With that in mind, here is the latest on matters in the treatment room at Arsenal.
