Arsenal playmaker to miss Carabao Cup final?

Odegaard set to miss League Cup final

Arsenal playmaker to miss Carabao Cup final?

19 March 2026 - 19:31

Arsenal playmaker Martin Odegaard is reportedly doubtful for the Carabao Cup final against Manchester City at the Wembley Stadium on Sunday.

  • Chelsea plan shock swoop for Sporting CP star
  • Arsenal & Chelsea want to sign Belgian winger


  • The Norway international has been sidelined for the past few weeks with a knee injury and has yet to report for regular first-team training.

    Manager Mikel Arteta has refused to confirm his availability and VG claim that the Gunners captain could be entirely ruled out of the final.

    Odegaard has been making good progress from a nagging knee problem, but may only return to first-team action after the international break.

    In his absence, Eberechi Eze has done a fine job from the number 10 position and looks poised to continue in the same role against Man City.

    Eze scored a stunning goal from outside the box against Bayer Leverkusen in the Champions League in midweek as Arsenal reached the quarter-final.

    The Gunners fans will be expecting more of the same from the Englishman as they seek to win their first silverware since the summer of 2020.
