Gabriel Jesus, Martin Odegaard - Arsenal injury news and return dates ahead of Brentford clash


Arsenal resume their Premier League title challenge with a tough test against Brentford this weekend. Mikel Arteta will be without David Raya and Fabio Vieira - with the former unable to face his parent club whilst the latter is suspended after picking up a red card in the win against Burnley before the international break.

Martin Odegaard looks set to return for the Gunners after withdrawing from Norway duty to continue his recovery from a hip injury. Gabriel Jesus had also been sidelined with an injury, but football.london understands that the Brazilian international is expected to be back to fitness in time for the Brentford clash after the two-week break.

Thomas Partey, Emile Smith Rowe and Jurrien Timber are all long-term absentees for the north Londoners and are expected to miss out once again. So, here's a look at the latest fitness updates from the Emirates Stadium ahead of next week's return to club action.

Martin Odegaard


Odegaard has been nursing an injury recently and Arteta will hope that the Norwegian can return to action after the international break. Despite his ongoing hip problem, Odegaard's omission for the defeat against Newcastle at St James’ Park and the home Champions League win against Sevilla was as a result of an unrelated issue.

The Gunners captain took a ball to the face during a training session at London Colney in the lead up to the loss on Tyneside. Odegaard failed a fitness test ahead of the loss against Eddie Howe's side after being checked over for concussion. Concussion rules state players must rest for six days and be symptom free before returning to action.

football.london understands that Odegaard was put through his paces at London Colney on Tuesday and continues to be assessed, but is expected to return against Brentford.

Injury: Concussion/Hip

What Arteta has said: "I don't know. I am going to have a meeting now with the medical department and Edu to understand everyone's situation but I think he is going to be back after the international break. I don't know exactly what is the decision and the communication at the moment."


What Solbakken (Norway boss) has said: "I've just come from a 45-minute talk with Martin. He is getting better and better and gradually stepping up.

"It has been more or less three weeks without any special training, so it is important to take things step by step. Both he and Arsenal probably hope that he is available for the Brentford match."

Expected return date: Brentford (A) - November 25

Gabriel Jesus

Gabriel Jesus was excellent against Sevilla in the Champions League, netting a goal and providing an assist but there was an injury worry when he pulled up clutching his hamstring late on in the game. With ten minutes to spare he was replaced by Eddie Nketiah, leaving him out of action ever since.

The striker has been called up to the Brazil international squad, despite concerns over his fitness. football.london understands that Jesus is expected to be back to fitness in time for the Brentford clash after the two-week break. The 26-year-old has taken part in Brazil training this week and looks set to be involved in their World Cup qualifier against Argentina on Wednesday, November 22.

Injury: Hamstring

Expected return date: Brentford (A) - November 25

What Arteta has said: "Gabby won’t be fit, with Martin it is still uncertain, the rest no news so far."

What Brazil boss Diniz said: "I talked to Gabriel and he didn't come here without planning. He said he's feeling good, he's already doing certain things and when I spoke to him we had two more weeks, 10 days at least till the first game [against Colombia] and 15 days 'til the second one [against Argentina]. He is in good condition, we are doing things with great care. As soon as he arrived we made a new MRI we [are] treating him very carefully."

Jorginho

Jorginho was on the receiving end of some daring challenges against Burnley. As a precaution, he was taken off to get his cuts and bruises patched up. However, he has been in action for Italy in their clash against North Macedonia.

Injury: Leg

Expected return date: Brentford (A) - November 25

What Arteta has said: "He had a few bad cuts I think so they could not sort it out on the

Arsenal should be ‘in the conversation’ to sign Kylian Mbappé, says Mikel Arteta

Image
  Mikel Arteta says Arsenal should be “in the conversation” for the signature of Kylian Mbappé after the striker’s summer departure from Paris Saint-Germain was confirmed, even though Real Madrid remain favourites to complete a deal. Mbappé’s contract expires in June and he has informed PSG that he will leave at the end of the season, either by running down his deal or extending it and earning his employers a transfer fee. Real are long-term suitors but an agreement is yet to be struck with the player and his representatives, theoretically leaving the door open for an English club to step in. “When there is a player of that calibre, we always have to be in the conversation,” Arteta said, before referring to Real’s interest. “But . . . it looks to be in a different way.” Asked whether that meant Arsenal were involved in any discussions about Mbappé, he replied: “I am not. Maybe Edu [the sporting director] and the owners are, but I am not in those conversations until the last stage.”...

Saka nets brace as Arsenal hammer Burnley to close gap again Bukayo Saka scored twice for the rampant Gunners REUTERS Liverpool’s win over Brentford earlier in the day had moved them five points clear at the top, but the Gunners responded in fine fashion to reduce the deficit back to two and keep themselves firmly in the Premier League title race. Saka took his Premier League tally for the season to 12 goals, with Martin Odegaard, Leandro Trossard and Kai Havertz also on target for the rampant Gunners. Picking up from where they left off in the big win over West Ham, Arsenal did not even need five minutes to take the lead, as Gabriel Martinelli picked out Odegaard and the captain fired into the bottom corner from the edge of the area. Burnley never looked like causing the Gunners any real problems and the lead was doubled before the break. Leandro Trossard was brought down in the box and Bukayo Saka made no mistake from the spot, despite James Trafford going the right way. Saka needed ...

Big News: Marc Guéhi arrived at Arsenal confirmed contract signed! And warm welcome from Mikel Artete

Image
    Arsenal 'are chasing Crystal Palace's Marc Guehi'... with the Eagles 'set to demand a GIGANTIC fee in a summer bidding war for the England centre-back The Gunners are huge admirers of Guehi but know the centre-back, who cost £18million, is not on the market for the time being. That suits boss Mikel Arteta, who has a settled back line but sees Guehi as part of his long-term plans and is both willing and happy to wait, with the auction likely to be at the end of the season. Palace will demand a huge fee for the 23-year-old, who has also been linked with Manchester City, Manchester United — and even a return to Chelsea, where he came through the academy. City are in the market for a top centre-back and could even try their luck in January but the real bidding war is anticipated to be in the summer. Both United and Chelsea are going to be looking at Guehi down the line.And the Eagles are relaxed because they know the big guns will come armed with a massive offer. Chelse...
