Arsenal could welcome back Martin Ødegaard and several other key players after the November international break, as the club looks to strengthen their squad for the remainder of the season. Injuries have frequently affected the Gunners, sidelining important members of the team at crucial stages. Despite these setbacks, Arsenal have shown depth in their squad and have continued to perform well in domestic competitions.
The team has been without players such as Kai Havertz, Noni Madueke and Ødegaard for several weeks, yet they have maintained consistency and competitiveness. The return of these injured stars is expected to bolster the squad further, giving Mikel Arteta more options and increasing the team’s overall quality. Ødegaard, in particular, will miss Norway’s matches during the current international window, allowing his country to manage without him as they aim to qualify for the World Cup next year.
Arsenal Await Return of Key Players
Following the international break, Arsenal expect their injured stars to be available once more, providing a significant boost to the team. Their presence is likely to enhance creativity, leadership and overall cohesion on the pitch, improving the Gunners’ chances in both domestic and European competitions. Arteta has expressed confidence in their recovery, suggesting that the squad will soon regain its full strength.
Arteta Confirms Progress
Speaking to Nettavisen, Arteta commented on the status of his injured players, stating: “I think they are very close to being in a strong position [to come back after the break]. They are not far away.”
His remarks indicate that Ødegaard and the other key absentees are nearing full fitness and should be ready to contribute to Arsenal’s campaign after the international period. The return of these players will provide a timely boost for the Gunners as they aim to maintain their challenge at the top of the Premier League and continue their pursuit of trophies this season.
