2025 Fantasy Outlook
Odegaard didn't live up to his ridiculously good previous two seasons in north London, but he still reached double-digit goal contributions with a goal and assist in the final two matches. Odegaard missed a couple months early in the season due to an ankle injury, which is better than a muscle problem. He has a guaranteed role in the starting XI as one of the most creative players in the team, creating 2.43 chances per 90 minutes last season, which was well below the prior campaign. Similar to a lot of the Gunners, if Odegaard stays fit to start 30-plus matches, his production should get a bump in 2025/26.

Out against Athletic Club
Odegaard (shoulder) is out for Tuesday's clash with Athletic Club, according to manager Mikel Arteta. "Gabi, Kai, Ben and Martin are still out, unfortunately."
ANALYSIS
Odegaard won't be an option for the Champions League opener due to the shoulder injury he suffered against Nottingham Forest. It's a very similar injury to his previous one, a concerning sign for his recovery if the injury is going to linger. Mikel Merino and Ethan Nwaneri are different options to replace Odegaard in the starting XI in the coming matches. His next chance to return would be a massive clash Sunday, against Manchester City.

Suffers similar shoulder injury
Odegaard was forced off in Saturday's 3-0 victory against Nottingham Forest with a shoulder injury similar to his previous one, coach Mikel Arteta confirmed in a press conference. "Yes, very similar. I don't know if it's exactly the same place but it's a very similar injury. He wasn't comfortable continuing, he's played two games with Norway, unfortunately he cannot carry on today. So we have to assess him with the doctors and see but I'm sure he will try his best to be fit for Tuesday. No, I don't think that. I'm not an expert but they weren't concerned at that level at all. The last time in a few days he was able to manage the pain especially as the injury wasn't that bad. I don't know the extent of two days but hopefully, hopefully."
