Odegaard has been sidelined since the September international break, missing crucial matches for both club and country.

Solbakken, speaking to Norwegian outlet VG, revealed that Odegaard is making steady progress in his rehabilitation, though the final stages of his recovery are yet to be completed.

“Everything indicates that things are going according to plan,” Solbakken said.

“It’s about the last steps now—training with opponents and team sessions. It depends on how he responds, but we have a legitimate hope he’ll be ready soon.”

Arsenal fans have been eagerly waiting for Odegaard’s return, especially with a high-profile clash against Liverpool on the horizon.

However, the Gunners are being cautious, not wanting to rush the Norwegian back too soon and risk a setback. Despite the desire to have him in the squad as quickly as possible, both Arsenal’s medical team and Odegaard himself are focused on a carefulArsena approach.

The 24-year-old has been a vital cog in Mikel Arteta’s side, leading by example as captain and contributing creatively on the pitch.

His absence has been noticeable in recent matches, with Arsenal’s midfield lacking the flair and vision that Odegaard regularly brings.

While a return against Liverpool this weekend appears unlikely, Solbakken’s words suggest that Odegaard could be back in action shortly, which is sure to boost both Arsenal and Norway in the weeks to come.
