Captain’s comeback: Ødegaard set for first Arsenal appearance since August 31
Today, in the headline clash of the Premier League’s 11th round, Chelsea will host Arsenal in a London derby at Stamford Bridge, bringing good news for Gunners fans.
Details: Arsenal’s captain, Martin Ødegaard, returns to the starting lineup. He has been training with the main squad since the beginning of the week and is finally ready to play again.
Declan Rice, whose participation was uncertain due to a toe fracture, will also be in the starting lineup.
This match marks Ødegaard's first appearance for Arsenal since August 21, when he played against Brighton (1-1).
In early September, Ødegaard suffered a serious ankle injury during Norway’s match against Austria, which sidelined him for two months.
Reminder: Yesterday, news emerged that Arsenal has involved a 14-year-old prodigy in first-team training.
