Martin Odegaard Injury: Training, nearing return

Odegaard (shoulder) has trained and is nearing a return in a "matter of days," according to manager Mikel Arteta, per Simon Collings of The Standard.

Odegaard is now on the brink of a return, with the midfielder training this week and now just a game or two from seeing the field again. That said, he will likely be held out midweek for Carabao Cup action, instead aiming his focus at Sunday's match against the Magpies. He will likely still need to pass testing to play in any upcoming game, although he will be a huge boost to the midfield once fit.
