Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta has provided a positive update on the injuries of Martin Odegaard, Kai Havertz and Noni Madueke, with the Spaniard expecting the trio to make a return soon.

Arsenal are seven points clear of the field in the Premier League title race (for the time being) after beating Burnley 2-0 at Turf Moor, thanks to two more headed goals from Viktor Gyokeres and Declan Rice.

Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta has suggested the Gunners could welcome Noni Madueke, Martin Ødegaard and Kai Havertz back from injury after the November international break.

Ahead of the clash, Mikel Arteta gave a number of updates during his presser. William Saliba has been injured and missed the Carabao Cup win over Brighton in midweek. The Spaniard gave an update on the centre-back on Friday. Arteta also commented on Gabriel Martinelli after he missed out against the Seagulls.

Bukayo Saka came off midway through the second half of Arsenal's 1-0 win over Crystal Palace. Eberechi Eze's first half strike proved to be the difference at the Emirates as the summer signing scored his first goal since his summer arrival from the Eagles.

Palace had hoped to move the contest at the Emirates. Speaking on Friday, Oliver Glasner said he was “really upset” by the schedule, pointing out that it would be dangerous for his players to hold so many matches in such a short space of time.

Saliba was forced off at halftime of Sunday’s match against Crystal Palace due to an apparent injury, with Cristian Mosquera taking his place. Rice, on the other hand, lasted 82 minutes, with Mikel Merino taking his place after going to ground and being assessed by Arsenal staff.

Mikel Arteta has little concern about Real Madrid or any other rival club poaching 15-year-old prodigy Max Dowman, despite the young talent not being locked into a senior contract with Arsenal.

Mikel Arteta has lamented the fixture calendar as Arsenal and Crystal Palace continue talks over when to play their Carabao Cup quarter-final.
