Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta has finally offered an update on the availability of Martin Odegaard ahead of Manchester City hosting the Gunners on Sunday.

After sustaining an injury during Norway's Nations League match against Austria, Odegaard missed the North London Derby against Tottenham Hotspur.

Before that game, Arteta did not expand on how long the club's captain would be out for while awaiting scans of the injury. However, the chances of the midfielder, who required crutches to move around during the international break, featuring at the Etihad Stadium have seemed slim ever since.

Arteta has now confirmed that is the case for Odegaard. READ MORE: Micah Richards hits back at Peter Schmeichel for 'disrespectful' comment on City fans READ MORE: Will City be relegated?

Martin Odegaard Injury Has Forced Arsenal To Be 'Different': Mikel Arteta

Mikel Arteta says title-chasing Arsenal have had to be "different" while captain Martin Odegaard is sidelined by an ankle problem. Odegaard has missed Arsenal's last six games with the injury he suffered playing for Norway last month, an absence that has forced Arteta to change his plans. Arteta said on Friday that the midfielder was "working so hard" to return, but the Gunners boss could not pinpoint when he would be back in action. Leandro Trossard has come in for the top-flight games missed by Odegaard, as well as the Champions League win over Paris Saint-Germain this week.

John Stones Salvages Point For Manchester City Against 10-Man Arsenal

John Stones' 98th-minute equaliser salvaged a 2-2 draw for Manchester City against 10-man Arsenal in a bad-tempered clash between the two favourites for the Premier League title on Sunday. Arsenal played the entire second half a man down after Leandro Trossard was sent off but were seconds away from inflicting City's first home defeat since November 2022. A draw is enough for City to retake top spot, two points clear of Arsenal in fourth. Erling Haaland's 100th City goal had given Pep Guardiola's men the perfect start. Arsenal turned the game around thanks to Riccardo Calafiori's wonder strike and another set-piece header from Gabriel Magalhaes.
