Arsenal player working to get back in action.
Arteta informs Arsenal fans about fitness status of key player
Head coach Mikel Arteta drops a hint with relief for Arsenal fans. Martin Odegaard is still a few weeks out, as per the boss, however, there are no setbacks and it is going well.
Arteta did not mention the specific date of player’s return, but did instead say that it is significantly clearer. That is a good indication for the Gunners. The North London team is already feeling the lack of his creative contribution in the middle of the park.
The captain of Arsenal is facing a constant problem that has resulted in his staying away from play longer than the club estimated. He has been very patient of the situation and has been waiting for the announcement of his return.
Arteta reveals that the club is in no hurry to proceed with his recovery. Now, patience is going to be needed as they want him to be completely fit. He is a hugely impactful leader and his vision offers Arsenal an important rhythm.
Other injury concerns
Even though Odegaard is improving slowly, Arteta also spoke about the fitness of other players. He reassured that Martin Zubimendi and Ben White are still in a condition of being fit. This comes even though they did not train on Thursday. Thus removing the very first worries that there were going to be new issues.
On top of that, Noni Madueke and Kai Havertz are at different levels of recovery from their knee injuries. But, in a way, both are doing well.
Arsenal’s players’ health news has been a small comfort for the fans due to the return of a few key players.
