Saliba recovers, Saka and Odegaard injured - Arsenal's best and worst-case international break

The first international break of the year is upon us and Mikel Arteta will be hoping it's a better experience than the last one.

Cast your minds back to November 2022 when the Premier League season paused for the World Cup and less than a month later Gabriel Jesus returned home earlier than expected after suffering medial ligament damage to his knee whilst in action for Brazil. It required surgery and sidelined him until the beginning of March.

Credit to Arteta and the Gunners for keeping their title push on track during the 25-year-old's absence and now that he's fit again, it has strengthened the belief that the Premier League trophy could very well be heading back to north London for the first time since May 2004.
