Martin Odegaard is expected to be available for Arsenal’s match against Brentford after missing Arsenal’s previous three matches due to concussion and hip problems.
With Thomas Partey out for a long period of time, head coach Mikel Arteta has had few options in midfield in recent weeks.
Mail Sport revealed that Odegaard is suffering from an undisclosed concussion, which will see him immediately miss the games against Newcastle and Sevilla, after a ball was hit in the face during the final training session before the trip to St James’ Park.
Odegaard missed Norway’s international matches to focus on his recovery.
And the Gunners captain has taken part in training after the international break in a massive boost for Arteta.
