Arsenal midfielder Martin Odegaard has returned from international duty with Norway to work on his match fitness.
The Norwegian recently made his first start since early September after recovering from an ankle ligament injury.
Odegaard surprisingly played for 95 minutes against Chelsea on the road and he was soon after called up by his national team.
However, he has been sent back to the Gunners, considering he has just recovered and needs to be handled with caution.
The news is a huge boost for the Gunners, who will require his creativity to turnaround their fortunes following the break.
Arsenal have had a dismal start to the league campaign and they have picked up just 19 points from their first 11 games.
The club are already nine points adrift of leaders Liverpool and they have no room for error if they want to win the league.
Odegaard's return should be a huge lift for the Gunners as they look to reduce the deficit to the top before the New Year.
