Revealed: How training ground incident sidelined Martin Odegaard and when Arsenal captain is expected to return

Odegaard has been forced onto the sidelines due to fears he suffered a concussion in training after being hit in the face with a ball, according to the<a href="https://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-12744435/Martin-Odegaard-Arsenal-concussion.html" target="_blank"> Daily Mail.</a> The Norway international subsequently missed the games against Newcastle. Sevilla and Burnley due to concussion protocol. Odegaard is also set to miss Norway's Euro 2024 qualifiers over the international break, although his absence has been put down to a hip injury.

WHAT HAPPENED?

Arsenal will be eager to have their captain back in action as soon as possible, and it is hoped he will return after the international break. During the two-week break, Thomas Partey, Ben White, Cedric Soares, Gabriel Jesus, and Emile Smith Rowe are among a number of other players with injuries that Arteta will be hoping can recuperate in time for the Brentford clash.

THE BIGGER PICTURE

Gabriel Jesus hasn't played for Arsenal since October 24 owing to a hamstring injury, but the Brazilian football federation has exercised its right to assess his condition. Brazil will examine Jesus directly, despite the Gunners' desire for him to recuperate in London during the international window, according to <a href="https://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-12744517/Gabriel-Jesus-joins-Brazil-squad-despite-nearly-three-weeks-sidelines-injury-striker-risks-wrath-Mikel-Arteta.html" target="_blank">Daily Mail</a>.
