Arsenal are hopeful of positive injury updates regarding Bukayo Saka and Martin Odegaard as the international break nears its conclusion.
Arsenal’s Injury Concerns: Saka and Odegaard Updates as November Looms
Both players are crucial to Mikel Arteta‘s plans, and their availability could be key in the club’s upcoming fixtures against Bournemouth, Shakhtar Donetsk, and Liverpool.
Saka sustained an injury during England’s 2-1 defeat to Greece and was substituted early in the second half.
England U21 manager Lee Carsley confirmed that Saka felt discomfort in his leg and is undergoing further assessment.
With Saka having started every game for Arsenal this season, his fitness will be closely monitored by the club as they await his return for treatment.
Meanwhile, Martin Odegaard has been sidelined since September with an ankle injury. However, there is growing optimism surrounding his recovery.
The Arsenal captain provided a positive update, stating that he has made significant progress in his rehabilitation.
While he is still expected to return in November, Odegaard’s encouraging words have boosted hopes that he could be back sooner than initially expected.
Arteta will be hoping both players recover in time to help Arsenal through a challenging period, with the team looking to maintain momentum in both the Premier League and Champions League.
With Saka and Odegaard key to the Gunners’ attacking play, their fitness will be critical as Arsenal navigate this busy stretch of the season.
