It seems Arsenal is done with this season. Arteta shall stop to send his players to the Internationals. This is because his players often comeback injured. Odegaard and Merino are injured. Rice is suspended for two yellow cards.
The weirdest thing is that Odegaard had knock in our last game against Brighton. I don't know why Arsenal let him go. Why aren't they stopping him from playing in useless games? Any big team would have stopped him go.
Odegaard is definitively out against Spurs. Hope he gets well soon
Injuries don't only happen in international games, but coaches always have special complaints about such cases, as Ancelotti recently expressed his displeasure over Militao's injury. Arsenal have lost several important players for the team before some very difficult games, they will soon play Tottenham, Atalanta and City, so losing players before such games is especially difficult. An ankle injury should not be very serious, I think Odegaard should be back in the game in a few weeks to a month, but he will still miss these important games.
I know that this is actually going to be a very bitter pills for Mikel arteta to swallow, losing marthin odegard and calafiori to injuries now that they actually have stronger matches coming up, is really going to be a tough one to take for Mikel arteta, though this is actually nothing new in the game of football, injuries are part of the game and most key players of various club side usually got injured when they went out with their national team, so it's nothing new, but it's definitely going to be a big deal for the clubs that were affected, which is quite understandable.
Lastly, I believe that arsenal can do away with calafiori for the state period of his injury if the other central backs at the club stay fit, but as for marthin odegard, I think they will certainly miss the quality and some other things he brings to the team, and I believe that he wouldn't be replaced easily, since they don't have such quality as back up, so In essence is that Mikel arteta just have to accept it and look for a way to be getting the desired result till all the injured players s return from their various injuries.
