Arsenal midfielder Martin Odegaard is in doubt for the Carabao Cup final against Man City on Sunday.
The Gunners are preparing to face rivals Man City for a chance to win their first piece of silverware since Mikel Arteta’s first season in 2020/21. They won the FA Cup that season, and are yet to win a trophy since under Arteta.

That could all change this weekend though, as Arsenal could keep their quadruple hopes alive by beating Man City in the Carabao Cup final on Sunday.
If they do win, they’ll look as though winning the quadruple is a genuine possibility, with the Gunners nine points clear in the Premier League, in the Quarter-finals of the Champions League, and in the fifth round of the FA Cup.
Martin Odegaard injury hint provided ahead of Man City game
Midfielder Martin Odegaard is currently dealing with a knee injury which has kept him out of action since the end of February. He would be lifting the trophy should Arsenal win the Carabao Cup, so will be desperate to make the game and help his teammates.
However, his current knee issue makes him a doubt for Sunday and we have seen a major hint which suggests he may not play on Sunday. Sky Sports report that Odegaard wasn’t selected for the Norway squad for the upcoming international break, suggesting that he’s not fit enough.
In his most recent update on the midfielder this week, Arteta said: “So we’re really pushing. He really wants to be available, but we will have to see in the next few days when he trains with the team… how he feels.”
It isn’t sure whether Odegaard will be ready yet, but the omission from the Norway squad is a big concern, and a hint which suggests that the midfielder could miss out against Manchester City.
