Arsenal Injury Update and Return Timelines for PSG: Ben White and Martin Odegaard
Current injury news for Arsenal and expected return timelines for players before facing PSG: recent information regarding Ben White, Martin Odegaard, Mikel Merino, and Oleksandr Zinchenko.
Arsenal aims for a successful second attempt in the 2024-25 Champions League as they prepare to host Paris Saint-Germain at the Emirates on Tuesday evening.
Mikel Arteta’s squad managed only a single point from their opening match against Atalanta BC, which ended in a goalless draw.
They owe much to David Raya, whose remarkable double save in the second half preserved the team’s unbeaten streak this season. The Gunners enter this match following an exciting 4-2 victory over Leicester City in the Premier League.
Below, Sports Mole provides the latest updates on Arsenal’s injury and suspension status ahead of their encounter with PSG, who narrowly defeated Girona 1-0 in their first European match of the season.
Ben White
Status: Major doubt
Type of injury: Knee
Expected return: October 1 (vs. PSG)
Ben White played through a knee injury during the recent 2-2 draw against Manchester City, but the condition has worsened. After missing matches against Bolton Wanderers and Leicester, his availability for the Champions League clash remains uncertain.
Martin Odegaard
Status: Out
Type of injury: Ankle
Expected return: November 2 (vs. Newcastle United)
The absence of Arsenal captain Martin Odegaard was felt during the draw with Atalanta BC. He will also miss the match against the French champions due to an ankle injury, which is expected to sideline him until November.
Mikel Merino
Status: Out
Type of injury: Shoulder
Expected return: October 5 (vs. Southampton)
Mikel Merino was initially projected to be unavailable until after the October international break due to a shoulder fracture. He will not be fit for the PSG match, but Arteta has not dismissed the possibility of Merino making his debut against Southampton next weekend.
Takehiro Tomiyasu
Status: Out
Type of injury: Knee
Expected return: October 19 (vs. Bournemouth)
Takehiro Tomiyasu has resumed partial training after suffering a knee injury during pre-season. However, he is currently lagging behind Merino in terms of recovery, making a return before the international break unlikely.
Kieran Tierney
Status: Out
Type of injury: Hamstring
Possible return date: Unknown
Kieran Tierney has been sidelined for approximately three months due to a hamstring injury sustained during Euro 2024, and there is still no timeline for when the 27-year-old will be available for selection with the Gunners.
Oleksandr Zinchenko
Status: Out
Type of injury: Calf
Possible return date: October 27 (vs. Liverpool)
Oleksandr Zinchenko sustained a calf injury prior to the derby victory against Tottenham Hotspur on September 15. Arteta has acknowledged that the Ukrainian player will require a few more weeks to regain full fitness.
