Arteta on Odegaard's injury

Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta has revealed that Martin Odegaard could return from his injury following the international break.



The Norwegian has been a key player for the Gunners in the final third this season and he has already registered five goals.

His presence has been missed by the Gunners over the past few games but Arteta believes he could return after the internationals.

He said: "I don't know. I'm going to have a meeting now with the medical department to understand everybody's situation and I think he is going to be back after the international break."

Odegaard has grown into a fantastic leader at the north London giants and he is the club's best creative outlet in and around the box.

With him injured, Arteta has tried to experiment with Kai Havertz in the position, but the German has not provided any output.

We won't be surprised if Odegaard is reinstated into the starting line-up when the Gunners face Brentford on the road this month.
