Martin Odegaard set to return for Arsenal vs Tottenham?

Arsenal captain Martin Odegaard could make his injury comeback during the upcoming north London derby against Tottenham Hotspur in the Premier League.

The Norway international has been sidelined since early October with a knee injury, but he could make his return against Spurs this weekend.

HandofArsenal claim that Odegaard will be assessed in the training in the coming days and there is an outside chance that he could make the squad.

Still, the Norwegian is unlikely to make the starting XI and he could be a solution off the bench for the final 20 minutes or so if required.

Arsenal are presently top of the league with 26 points, four ahead of Manchester City. They have a tough schedule coming up.

The Gunners face Spurs followed by Chelsea, Brentford, Aston Villa and Wolverhampton Wanderers in the English top-flight.

Mikel Arteta's side face a stern test of title credentials and it remains to be seen whether they can stay top after the run of games.
