The Gunners have been hit with a number of injury concerns ahead of a busy month of October with plenty of key players away on international duty at present. Odegaard had picked up a calf injury prior to the international break and Mikel Arteta's squad looked to be getting thinner by the day.

Oleksandr Zinchenko, Cedric Soares, Reiss Nelson, Mohamed Elneny and Thomas Partey joined the Norway international in being an injury concern ahead of the north London derby, but it looks as though a few players will be fit for the clash against Tottenham, football.london understands. Odegaard has received lots of praise for his performances so far this season and his potential absence from the game against Spurs would be a major blow for Arteta.
