SHOCK RETURN! Mikel Arteta is set to WELCOME BACK FOUR Arsenal STARS! You won’t believe who’s ready to step back into the squad!
Mikel Arteta is set to reintegrate several key Arsenal players into the squad soon.
The international break may have come at an ideal time for Arsenal, giving players a chance to recover while preventing others from missing more matches. Though Arteta has been reserved about Martin Odegaard’s return, recent club footage showed the Norwegian midfielder running as part of his recovery from an ankle injury sustained in September.
Arsenal have managed well in Odegaard’s absence but have certainly missed his leadership and skill. While they remain unbeaten, their narrow victories over teams like Leicester and Southampton might have been more comfortable with Odegaard orchestrating play.
Meanwhile, both Jurrien Timber and Ben White have been sidelined due to their own injuries. These two right-backs are considered among the best competitors for the position in the league. Timber has impressed with his technical abilities, while White continues to shine, often linking up well with Bukayo Saka to execute Arteta’s tactical plans.
Oleksandr Zinchenko, like Odegaard, has been out since the last break, though Arteta is hopeful he will return when domestic matches resume. Despite competition for the left-back spot, especially with Takehiro Tomiyasu’s return, Zinchenko’s unique style remains valuable to the team.
With crucial games against Liverpool, Inter Milan, Newcastle United, and Chelsea on the horizon, having a full squad will be essential for Arsenal’s title hopes. Any absences could negatively impact their momentum, but Arsenal’s unbeaten start has proven their resilience so far. However, a single setback could quickly change the team’s outlook, making the successful reintegration of these returning players crucial in the coming weeks.
