Martin Odegaard gives major fitness update - just six days before Arsenal's north London derby with Tottenham

Arsenal star Martin Odegaard has given a positive injury update ahead of the north London derby while on international duty.

The midfielder has been missing from action since the start of October with a knee-injury, forcing table-toppers Arsenal to reshuffle their pack in midfield as they try and win their first Premier League title since 2004.

Declan Rice has been a mainstay, anchoring the team from the middle, with £60million new signing Eberechi filling the gap Odegaard has left.

The Norwegian, though, could be back sooner rather than later.
