Arsenal return to Premier League action this afternoon at Molineux Stadium to face Wolverhampton Wanderers, but they will be without their captain Martin Odegaard, who has been ruled out due to illness.
The Gunners’ season has been plagued by injuries and suspensions, disrupting Mikel Arteta’s plans. Alongside long-term absentee Bukayo Saka, the team has dealt with red card suspensions to Declan Rice, Leandro Trossard, and William Saliba, as well as a sickness bug that recently affected key players, including Kai Havertz and Declan Rice.
Odegaard, who scored in Arsenal’s midweek Champions League win against Dinamo Zagreb, is the latest casualty. The Norwegian midfielder, who has netted on his last two visits to Molineux, will miss today’s match, leaving Arsenal without their primary playmaker.
