Premier League: Odegaard ‘nowhere Near Fit To Play’ Vs Wolves Confirms Arteta

By IANS News January 25, 2025 • 20:30 PM View: 1269

Both Mikel Merino: Arsenal skipper Martin Odegaard has not been included in Arsenal’s squad to face Wolverhampton Wanderers at the Molineux Stadium on Saturday as the Norwegian midfielder is out with sickness. He is one of five changes to the side that beat Dinamo Zagreb on Wednesday, with Mikel Arteta choosing to rotate half of his outfield players for Premier League action at Molineux.

Both Mikel Merino and Odegaard miss out completely, so Gabriel will take the captain’s armband. It’s also the big Brazilian defender’s 199th appearance for the North London side.

Speaking shortly before kick-off, Arteta confirmed, "Martin was ill this morning and we had to send him back -- he was nowhere near fit to play. Mikel as well, because he got a knock and couldn’t make it yesterday for training.”
