Arsenal handed minor injury boost on midfielder

Arsenal have been handed a minor injury boost on Martin Odegaard, according to Sky Sports News.

The Gunners have been without their club captain for the past month with an ankle injury and he is still working on his fitness.

A recent report claimed that Odegaard sustained a setback in his recovery and he may not return to action until early December.

However, this has been rebuffed by Sky Sports News who claim that Odegaard has not suffered any problem in his rehab.

The 25-year-old won't be available for the upcoming games, but the Norway international could be fit by the end of the month.

Arsenal face Bournemouth on the road next weekend and it will be interesting to see whether Bukayo Saka is fit for the game.

The Englishman was substituted against Greece with a hamstring issue, but there is optimism that he will be fit for the Cherries outing.

Arsenal are third in the league, one point behind leaders Liverpool.
