Est. Return 9/28/2025
2025 Fantasy Outlook
Odegaard didn't live up to his ridiculously good previous two seasons in north London, but he still reached double-digit goal contributions with a goal and assist in the final two matches. Odegaard missed a couple months early in the season due to an ankle injury, which is better than a muscle problem. He has a guaranteed role in the starting XI as one of the most creative players in the team, creating 2.43 chances per 90 minutes last season, which was well below the prior campaign. Similar to a lot of the Gunners, if Odegaard stays fit to start 30-plus matches, his production should get a bump in 2025/26.
Training, nearing return
Odegaard (shoulder) has trained and is nearing a return in a "matter of days," according to manager Mikel Arteta, per Simon Collings of The Standard.
ANALYSIS
Odegaard is now on the brink of a return, with the midfielder training this week and now just a game or two from seeing the field again. That said, he will likely be held out midweek for Carabao Cup action, instead aiming his focus at Sunday's match against the Magpies. He will likely still need to pass testing to play in any upcoming game, although he will be a huge boost to the midfield once fit.

Suffers similar shoulder injury
Odegaard was forced off in Saturday's 3-0 victory against Nottingham Forest with a shoulder injury similar to his previous one, coach Mikel Arteta confirmed in a press conference. "Yes, very similar. I don't know if it's exactly the same place but it's a very similar injury. He wasn't comfortable continuing, he's played two games with Norway, unfortunately he cannot carry on today. So we have to assess him with the doctors and see but I'm sure he will try his best to be fit for Tuesday. No, I don't think that. I'm not an expert but they weren't concerned at that level at all. The last time in a few days he was able to manage the pain especially as the injury wasn't that bad. I don't know the extent of two days but hopefully, hopefully."
