**LONDON, ENGLAND** – Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta has praised his team’s adaptability in the absence of captain Martin Odegaard, highlighting their recent successes against Leicester and Paris Saint-Germain.

Odegaard’s injury, sustained last month, forced Arsenal to adjust their playing style, relying on their defensive strength and set-piece prowess to maintain their unbeaten streak.

“We had a really difficult fixture list after the international break,” Arteta said. “We had to be different, the impact that Martin has in everything we do was too big to replicate with one player.”

The Gunners have found a new rhythm in attack, with Kai Havertz and Leandro Trossard forming a potent partnership in the final third. Arteta credits this adaptation to the squad’s versatility and the team’s willingness to embrace new approaches.

“We are a bigger threat in other areas,” Arteta explained. “We have to make the most of that.”

Trossard, in particular, has impressed in his new role, showcasing his intelligence and composure on the ball.

While Odegaard’s return is eagerly awaited, Arsenal fans are celebrating the team’s ability to overcome adversity and maintain their winning form. The manager has built a squad capable of handling injuries and adapting to different situations.

“It’s just so impressive, how with this group and this manager we can adapt to anything!” one fan commented.

As the season progresses, Arsenal will continue to rely on their depth and versatility to maintain their title challenge.
