Arsenal skipper Martin Odegaard is back in the mix after recovering from an ankle injury that's kept him sidelined since early September.

The Norwegian international hasn't played for the Gunners following his injury during Norway's Nations League victory over Austria.

Arsenal boss Mikel Arteta had been optimistic about Odegaard's return before the next round of international fixtures, but there's no rush to throw him straight back into the fray.

An official update from the club read: "Our skipper has been out of action for two months after picking up an ankle injury on international duty for Norway in September and missed our subsequent 12 matches, but he joined in with the rest of our squad ahead of our Champions League trip to Inter Milan."

"We head to Italy later on Tuesday afternoon aiming to maintain our unbeaten start in this season's competition, but all Gunners supporters will be thrilled to see Martin taking the latest step towards a first-team return."

His return could come at the perfect time for Arsenal after a difficult run of results.

Arteta's side has picked up just one point from its last three matches and sits seven points adrift of Liverpool at the top of the Premier League.

The Gunners were beaten by Newcastle on Saturday thanks to Alexander Isak's header and now sit fifth in the table.

Arsenal has another tricky away game this weekend against Chelsea before taking on Nottingham Forest after the international break.
