The midfielder has been sidelined since sustaining an injury during an international match against Austria in September.
The Gunners hopeful as Odegaard returns
Mikel Arteta’s squad have struggled in his absence, suffering their first two Premier League losses of the season to Bournemouth and Newcastle.
Since Odegaard’s injury, Arsenal have played seven league games, earning 11 points. This run has dropped them to fifth in the Premier League, seven points behind leaders Liverpool.
Odegaard has been vital to Arsenal’s recent title challenges against Manchester City over the past two seasons, though they ultimately fell short on both occasions.
With the midfield maestro back, the Gunners will hope to reignite their title ambitions. However, a tough challenge awaits this weekend as they face Chelsea.
