Arsenal Star Returns To Training Ahead Of Champions League Clash With Inter

Arsenal captain, Martin Odegaard, has returned to full training after two months on the sidelines due to an ankle injury, the Premier League club said on Tuesday.

The midfielder, who sustained an ankle injury in the second half of Norway’s 2-1 victory against Austria in the Nations League back in September, has returned to training.

Arsenal is preparing for their Champions League match against Inter Milan on Wednesday.

TheGunners posted pictures of Odegaard training ahead, but it remains to be seen whether he will be part of the squad that travels to Italy, and Arteta will give an update at a press conference this evening.

An Arsenal statement said, “Our skipper has been out of action for two months after picking up an ankle injury on international duty for Norway in September and missed our subsequent 12 matches, but he joined in with the rest of our squad ahead of our Champions League trip to Inter Milan.

“We head to Italy later on Tuesday afternoon aiming to maintain our unbeaten start in this season’s competition, but all Gunners supporters will be thrilled to see Martin taking the latest step towards a first-team return.”

The club announced that Odegaard, who has only missed a few games in the past three seasons, is making progress toward a return to the first team.

Arsenal sit ninth in the Champions League standings after three games, while Inter are seventh also on seven points.
