Odegaard returns to training in timely boost for Arsenal

The Norwegian international turned his ankle playing for his country on 9 September, causing him to miss 12 matches for Arsenal. Although Mikel Arteta’s side initially managed without their captain, recent Premier League results have faltered, putting their title ambitions at risk.

In Europe, however, Arsenal are well-positioned, having earned two wins and a draw from their first three Champions League matches. A positive result at the San Siro could go a long way toward securing a top-eight finish, which would help them avoid a play-off double-header.

While it’s unlikely Odegaard will start in Milan, his presence in the squad should provide a morale boost for both fans and teammates, following a tough period marked by a loss to Newcastle and the surprise resignation of Sporting Director Edu.

Norway, who had also hoped for Odegaard’s return, appear to have omitted him from their upcoming fixtures against Slovenia and Kazakhstan.

Norway, who had also hoped for Odegaard’s return, appear to have omitted him from their upcoming fixtures against Slovenia and Kazakhstan. We should get more on the thinking behind that when Arteta faces the media in Italy later this evening.

So Arteta was right – it was weeks (8) and not months (2)
