Wed Nov 06 20:46:05 UTC 2024: ## Arsenal Boss Provides Injury Update Ahead of Champions League Clash

**London, UK** – Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta has confirmed that midfielder Martin Odegaard will be assessed ahead of Wednesday’s Champions League clash against Inter Milan. The Norwegian star is back in training after recovering from an injury, but his participation in the match remains uncertain.

However, there is bad news for the Gunners as Declan Rice has picked up a foot injury and will miss the game. The England international sustained the injury during the Premier League match against Newcastle on Saturday.

Arteta also addressed the recent resignation of Arsenal’s technical director, Edu. He expressed his gratitude for the work Edu has done during his time at the club and wished him well in his future endeavors. The manager emphasized that the club’s long-term vision and plans remain unchanged, despite Edu’s departure.

“The plan and vision that start with the ownership is going to continue,” Arteta stated. “We have a very strong leadership team. We have great know-how and passion for the football club so we’re not going to stop where we are at the moment.”

The Arsenal boss also highlighted the leadership qualities of Bukayo Saka, who has taken on the captain’s armband in the absence of Odegaard. Arteta described Saka as a positive influence on the team and someone who has earned his leadership role.

Arsenal will be looking to bounce back from their recent loss to Newcastle and secure a positive result in their Champions League opener against Inter Milan. The game is scheduled to kick off at 20:00 GMT on Wednesday.
