Martin Odegaard may be closer to returning to full fitness than initially expected, as Arsenal recently released footage of his recovery.
Mikel Arteta’s side has been missing their captain, who sustained an injury during the September international break, and they have been eager to have him back as soon as possible.
Odegaard is working hard to return, and although he hasn’t resumed ball work or training on grass, the club shared a video showing him putting in work at the gym.
According to Football Insider, the clip has excited Arsenal fans, many of whom now believe that Odegaard will return sooner than anticipated. His progress over the last few weeks suggests he could be back in contention earlier than expected.
Just Arsenal Opinion
We need to have Odegaard back as soon as possible, but we do not have to rush him back because that could make him break down again sooner.
We have coped well without him in the picture and expect that to continue. But when he is back, our performance will certainly improve even further.

I have noticed that lately Arteta and the club like to be coy about players returning from injury. I’m all for it as it keeps the opposition guessing.
I doubt Arsenal will risk bringing him back until the medical staff are 100% he’s fit. Like other leading teams with injuries to key players (City and Liverpool to name two currently), Arsenal have had to cope with his absence and have done so pretty well so far.
my hope is Odegaard is back for the Liverpool game which is still 16 days away
16 days is a long time in football, the Bolton game 16 days ago feels like a lifetime ago
yes Arsenal have done well in Odegaard absence, helped by good timing of Havertz vein of form, but by means a like-for-like, a squad effort
Now Saka is injured in the England game.
The Bournemoth game is approaching and we have to recover the likes of Timber, White, Partey, Havertz, and recently Saka; hopefully in 8 days we do the miracle.
Still the infumable Nations Cup can bring more bad news.
