Arsenal got a huge boost when their leader, Martin Odegaard, was seen back in training on Tuesday morning.

Odegaard hasn’t played for Arsenal since the September international break because he hurt himself while playing for Norway. They have had a hard time without him.

Mikel Arteta’s team has lost all three of their recent league games. On Saturday, they lost 1-0 at Newcastle and are now seven points behind leaders Liverpool.

But Odegaard might be able to play again when they play Inter Milan at San Siro on Wednesday night.

Odegaard joined the first team on Tuesday, and Arteta will probably talk about his captain’s fitness at his press conference later today.

Declan Rice wasn’t there at the start of Tuesday’s session, but his health isn’t thought to be a big problem.

Not present were Riccardo Calafiori, Takehiro Tomiyasu, or Kieran Tierney. All three were set to return after the November international break.

Arsenal has been through a lot since Edu, their sports director, left, so Odegaard’s return is welcome news.

The Brazilian announced his departure from Arsenal on Monday, after five years there. He is now likely to lead Evangelos Marinakis’s multi-club business, which is owned by Nottingham Forest.

Arsenal is going through a rough patch off the field, and they haven’t been at their best on the field this season either.

Odegaard, on the other hand, is seen as one of the most creative forces on the side and could help things turn around.

The 25-year-old has scored 23 goals and set up 17 others in the last two Premier League seasons, helping Arsenal come close to beating Manchester City to both titles.

He is now back at a very important time in Arsenal’s season. Arteta’s team is also going to Chelsea on Sunday for a very important league game before the international break.
