Just like last season we have become accustomed to seeing several players returning with injuries in international breaks. And of course this is very bad news for Arsenal considering that Martin Odegaard has an important role in the Arsenal team. With this he had to be absent for several weeks. But fortunately it wasn't a more serious injury that would keep him out for longer. But still we know Odegaard is a very important player in Arteta's plans. So I'm starting to feel sorry for Arsenal right now. Arteta is trying to take this team to a better level but now one of the cogs of their team has to rest due to injury and Arsenal may be competing without Odegaard for a while. I hope he recovers quickly.

This is a massive blow for mikel and arsenal. I just checked the arsenal squad, and it appears that there are only 22 registered players for the season excluding academy players. Odegaard happens to be the only creative AM I've seen so far. Merino is also good, but he is out injured as well. Rice is currently on a red card, which means he is going to miss the north London derby. I won't be surprise to see arteta playing a defender like Timber or Zinchenko as a new attacking midfielder in the North London derby. I won't suggest Havartz because he isn't creative, compare to Zinchenko and timber. Or he might just want to play a 4 defense, 2 midfield, and 4 attack kind of game. He just needs to figure things out, because Tottenham is a very good side, besides, it's a derby game. I just wish all the players quick recovery because we will be seeing other competitions soon.

Saka and Havertz can handle the forward angle as I believe Saka and Havertz are good combo in terms of creating opportunity, I’m considering something different for Arteta and his team against Tottenham since he don’t have some strong players presently playing the game.

When I read Odegaard injury headline I was surprised seriously and starting the season for Arsenal has been going smoothly, Tottenham are good probably they might draw or Arsenal will win it’s either we expect a draw or the other way round because Arsenal defense team are one of the best.
