When Arsenal hope Martin Odegaard will be back from injury

Arsenal captain Martin Odegaard is on course to return to action for the Gunners later this month after the November international break.

Odegaard hasn't started a Game since Arsenal’s Champions League away win over Sevilla last month. He sat out the Premier League thrashing of Sheffield United with what was later reported to be a hip problem, but returned as a late substitute in the Carabao Cup defeat to West Ham.

However, the 24-year-old then missed subsequent Games against Newcastle, Sevilla and Burnley. At least the latter two absences are thought to be as a result of an unspecified training injury.

There is no long-term concern, though, with manager Mikel Arteta expectant that Odegaard will be ready to play again before the end of November when Arsenal face Brentford and Lens.

"I'm going to have a meeting with the medical department to understand everybody's situation and I think he is going to be back after the international break," the boss explained after the weekend's win over Burnley. "But I don't know exactly what the decision."

As it stands, Odegaard is part of the Norway squad called up for a friendly against Faroe Islands and the Euro 2024 qualifier against Scotland. It is not clear whether he will remain with them, but neither Game is of any consequence. The latter qualifier will not change third place Norway's position in the standings due to a superior head to head record over fourth place Georgia, while Spain and Scotland are already too far ahead and have each qualified automatically.

The only way Norway can get to Euro 2024 is via the playoffs, for which they need to rely on Serbia automatically qualifying from a different group in order to grant them entry.

Erik ten Hag reveals two Man Utd injury boosts but one concern for Everton game

Image
Andre Onana and Luke Shaw are fit and available for Manchester United's trip to Everton on Sunday but doubts remain over Rasmus Hojlund. 27-year-old Onana picked up an injury while away on international duty with Cameroon, raising concerns that he may not be ready for United's visit to Goodison Park. But the summer signing from Inter was able to train as normal on Friday in a significant boost for Erik ten Hag, who will also welcome Shaw back into the fold after three months on the treatment table. Shaw's return is a huge boost for a United squad depleted by injuries to Jonny Evans, Lisandro Martinez, Tyrell Malacia, Christian Eriksen and Casemiro, while uncertainty remains over the fitness of Hojlund, who picked up a hamstring problem in the 1-0 win over Luton Town prior to the international break. "Andre is okay," Ten Hag told the media at his pre-match press conference. "He stepped in training today, he's good. Rasmus: still is a close finish. He'

"We broke House rules, but we were obedient to our oath," Justin Jones told ABC News. Former Tennessee state Rep. Justin Jones, the youngest of two Black lawmakers expelled from the Republican-controlled state House of Representatives, spoke out in a new interview with ABC News. Jones slammed Republicans for their partisan vote and described the unprecedented move as a "lynching of democracy." "I believe that this whole process has been unconstitutional ," Jones said, calling the GOP lawmakers out by name for what he believes was a racially motivated political attack. "There are crimes against democracy happening in Tennessee being led by House Speaker Cameron Sexton," Jones said. "They killed democracy in Tennessee…Their action was meant to intimidate.
