Arsenal handed latest injury news as key player travels for international clash

Norway manager Stale Solbakken remains uncertain whether Martin Odegaard will play against Wales on Thursday, despite the midfielder returning to training. The Arsenal captain trained at Cardiff City Stadium on Wednesday after sitting out the previous day due to an ankle problem sustained against Portugal. Solbakken explained that Odegaard would test his ankle during the session before any decision is made regarding his participation.

Medical checks conducted by Norway team doctor Ola Sand revealed no significant damage, and the player is reportedly experiencing reduced pain. Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta will monitor the situation closely amid growing fitness concerns, with Kai Havertz nursing a hamstring injury and Declan Rice managing workload issues ahead of Arsenal's match against Leeds United on October 10.
