Mikel Arteta has given the latest news on his injured captain Martin Odegaard who has been out since the last international break.
Odegaard is still out with a long term injury and his return is still not known.
Ahead of the match against Southampton, has provided the update about his captain.
Arteta said, as reported by The Independent:
“Martin is very difficult,” Arteta said. “I expected him to still have a boot on and other things – he’s working hard, feeling good and pushing. It’s difficult to give a timeline.”
Odegaard suffered an injury on international duty with Norway and in his absence, the Gunners have managed to get impressive results against Aston Villa, Tottenham, Manchester City, Atalanta and Paris Saint-Germain.
Arteta will be happy to come out unbeaten against all those teams despite missing the captain of the club.
Arsenal are third in the league and they are expected to put more misery into Southampton’s already miserable season so far.
The Gunners could go top of the league if Liverpool fail to beat Crystal Palace in the early kick-off.
