Arsenal given Martin Odegaard boost as Norway boss Stale Solbakken suggests Gunners captain will be available to face Brentford next weekend

Arsenal have been given a boost regarding Martin Odegaard, with the midfielder likely to be fit for next weekend's game away to Brentford.

Odegaard struggled with a hip problem and then missed Arsenal's clash against Burnley after being hit in the face with a ball in training.

The Arsenal captain was subsequently left out of the Norway squad for games against Faroe Islands and Scotland so that he could build up his fitness at Arsenal.

Norway boss Stale Solbakken has now given an encouraging update on Odegaard's situation.
