The Norwegian has had an injury-plagued season with the north London giants and he has been on the sidelines with four separate injuries.

Odegaard was in good form prior to his latest knock and reports claim that the 27-year-old will be back in the matchday squad to face Spurs on Sunday.

Bukayo Saka has operated in the number 10 role in the last two matches. With Odegaard's return to the XI, Saka should move to his regular right wing role.

Odegaard has made five goal contributions in his last eight league appearances and he has a huge role to play against Tottenham tomorrow.

Spurs are close to the relegation zone at the moment but can't be taken lightly after the appointment of a new manager to replace Thomas Frank.

Igor Tudor has been handed the job. The Croatian has a positive mindset and will want Spurs to spring a surprise and beat the Gunners.
