Arsenal fans receive good news ahead of their match against Inter Milan

Arsenal fans have received a timely boost ahead of their crucial UEFA Champions League clash against Inter Milan, as club legend Martin Keown has hinted at the return of influential midfielder Martin Ødegaard. The Norwegian international has been sidelined for an extended period due to an ankle injury that has kept him out of action for a number of games, creating a noticeable void in the Gunners’ midfield creativity and leadership.

Speaking to TNT Sports, Keown expressed his optimism about Ødegaard’s potential comeback, emphasizing the importance of his return to the team. “He can’t come back quick enough. I’m told he’ll be back for Wednesday,” Keown said. The news has sparked excitement among Arsenal supporters who know the value Ødegaard brings to the squad with his vision, passing accuracy, and ability to dictate the tempo of the game.

Arsenal’s recent defeat to Newcastle United highlighted the need for a stabilizing and creative force in the middle of the pitch. Ødegaard’s return could be exactly what the team needs to regain their rhythm and confidence as they look to secure a positive result at the San Siro. The match against Inter Milan is pivotal not just for their European ambitions but also as a morale booster ahead of the following Premier League fixtures.

Currently 4th in the Premier League table with 18 points from 10 games, Arsenal has been searching for consistency and attacking cohesion in Ødegaard’s absence. His potential availability would provide manager Mikel Arteta with more options and a stronger squad capable of matching Inter’s formidable midfield.

With the anticipation building, Arsenal fans will be eagerly watching for confirmation of Ødegaard’s inclusion in the squad. A fit and ready Ødegaard could inspire the Gunners as they aim to get back on track and continue their pursuit of success on both domestic and European fronts.
