Arteta’s Arsenal receives good news ahead of their match against Brentford

Arsenal have received a major boost ahead of their upcoming Premier League clash against Brentford as their captain Martin Odegaard is set to make his return to the squad. The Norwegian midfielder has been sidelined for the past three matches due to concussion and hip issues, but according to a report by Daily Mail, he is expected to be available for selection for the game against Brentford.

Odegaard’s return will come as a huge relief for Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta, who has been without his influential captain in recent weeks. The 25-year-old has been a key figure in Arsenal’s midfield this season, and his absence has been keenly felt by the team.

Arsenal are currently in 3rd position on the Premier League table with 27 points in this 2023/24 campaign, and they will be looking to maintain their strong start to the season with a positive result against Brentford. Their last game was a convincing 3-1 victory over Burnley at the Emirates Stadium, and they will be hoping to carry that momentum into their upcoming fixture.

The Gunners will travel to Gtech Community Stadium on Saturday 25th November 2023 after the international break, and Odegaard’s availability will provide Arteta with a welcome selection headache as he looks to navigate a busy period of fixtures.

With Odegaard back in contention, Arsenal will be hoping to continue their impressive form and secure another important victory in their quest for a top-four finish.
