Martin Odegaard news

Odegaard ruled out of Wolves game

Arsenal have been handed a big blow with Martin Odegaard ruled out of the Premier League clash against Wolverhampton Wanderers on the road.



The Gunners take on the Midlands outfit at the Molineux Stadium this afternoon and ahead of the game, Odegaard is not part of the squad.

Arsenal have not provided an exact reason, but reports claim that the Norwegian has been sidelined for the encounter due to illness.

Mikel Merino also misses out on the trip to West Midlands. The Spain international has apparently picked up a minor knock in training.

While the midfield duo are absent, the Gunners have received a timely boost with William Saliba and Myles Lewis-Skelly fit to face Wolves.

Saliba missed the last two games with a muscle issue, but has recovered in time. Lewis-Skelly has overcome a minor knee concern from midweek.

Arsenal are six points behind leaders Liverpool, who have a game in hand. They must beat Wolves to keep their slender title hopes alive.
