Struggles to influence

Odegaard generated two crosses (zero accurate) and one chance created in Sunday's 1-0 victory against Nottingham Forest.

Analysis: Odegaard recorded two inaccurate crosses without attempting a shot across the full 90 minutes in Sunday's 1-0 victory at Nottingham Forest. He created one of Arsenal's better first-half openings by releasing Kai Havertz into the penalty area, although the forward could only fire into the side netting from a difficult angle. Odegaard also helped construct the second-half move that ended with Declan Rice shooting over from close range, but Arsenal's overall lack of creativity limited his fantasy production despite the narrow victory.

Back in training after ankle knock

Odegaard (ankle) returned to Norway training Wednesday in Cardiff after missing Tuesday's session, but remains uncertain for Thursday's Nations League match against Wales, according to head coach Stale Solbakken, per VG. "I wish I could say yes, but I don't know. I can't say no either. He's going to do some testing today, but we'll see. He's here. If he wasn't, there wouldn't have been a chance.", with assistant coach Brede Hangeland adding earlier that X-rays showed no significant damage. "As far as I understood, there was nothing dramatic in those [X-ray] images."

Analysis: Odegaard hurt his ankle when Bernardo Silva caught him late in Sunday's defeat to Portugal. He missed training Tuesday but was back on the pitch Wednesday, and Norway will decide on Thursday's game against Wales after seeing how he handles the session, with Sunday's match in Portugal the next chance if not. Whether he plays this week or not, being back in training so soon is good news for Arsenal after the scare, as their top scorer this season with four goals across all competitions looks set to avoid a lengthy layoff.
