Arsenal attacker set to return from injury vs Southampton

Arsenal captain Martin Odegaard looks poised to return from injury against Southampton in the FA Cup quarter-final this weekend.

The Gunners have had an impressive campaign thus far and the Carabao Cup final loss to Manchester City was the only major downside.

They will be aiming to make amends by returning to winning ways. Ahead of Saturday's game, they are set for a massive injury boost.

Odegaard has been back in full training for the last week and he is pushing to return to the matchday squad for the weekend clash at St Mary's.

With Eberechi Eze sidelined, Odegaard could be drafted straight into the starting XI for the encounter against the Championship outfit.

Arsenal started Kai Havertz in the number 10 role in the League Cup final. The German barely made an impression until his substitution.

Bukayo Saka went into the position later on with Noni Madueke on the right wing, but the latter is currently on the sidelines with a knee issue.
