Gyokeres, Odegaard, Martinelli, Madueke, Havertz, and Gabriel Jesus – Latest on Arsenal injuries and possible return dates following the international break

Arsenal faces multiple injury issues ahead of their match against Tottenham Hotspur after the international break.

The Gunners are optimistic that their injury situation will improve once the international break concludes.

Currently, Arsenal holds a four-point advantage at the top of the Premier League standings, having settled for a draw in their last encounter against Sunderland.

Manchester City’s victory over Liverpool on Sunday has narrowed the gap to Arsenal, who are now focused on the North London Derby scheduled for November 23 when the league resumes.

Mikel Arteta has had to navigate various injury challenges throughout the season, yet he has managed to secure consistent victories that have established a solid lead at the Premier League summit.

Arsenal is hopeful that some sidelined players will return from injury after the international break, although uncertainties remain regarding several squad members.

Here, we examine Arsenal’s current injury list and the anticipated return dates.

Viktor Gyokeres

Having netted six goals since joining Arsenal, Viktor Gyokeres has been absent from the last two matches due to a muscle injury.

The Gunners are eager to have Gyokeres back after the international break, with Arteta recently voicing his concerns about the striker’s fitness.

“I am worried because he [Gyokeres] has not experienced many muscular problems, and he had to exit the field,” Arteta informed reporters on November 3. “He was feeling something, and that’s clearly not a good sign.

“Especially for a player who is very, very explosive, so we are investigating further to understand the extent of the injury, and we will provide updates when we have more information.”

Expected return date: November 23 – Tottenham Hotspur (H)

Martin Odegaard

Martin Odegaard has been largely absent this season due to various injury issues.

After recovering from a shoulder injury early in the season, the Arsenal captain is now healing from a knee injury sustained at the beginning of October and is not anticipated to return for a while.

“It is progressing steadily. He is making progress, but he still has a way to go,” said Norway manager Stale Solbakken recently regarding Odegaard’s recovery.

Expected return date: Late November/December

Kai Havertz

Kai Havertz has been out for most of the season due to a knee injury he sustained during the Premier League opener against Manchester United in August.

Havertz underwent minor surgery for the injury and is not expected to be back until later this year.

“We will see how he copes with the workload when he begins training with us, and once he does, we will need to monitor his minutes closely, especially in the initial weeks,” Arteta commented last week about Havertz.

Expected return date: December

Noni Madueke

Noni Madueke has been absent from Arsenal’s last 11 matches due to a knee injury he incurred in September.

However, there is hope among the Gunners that the England international will be fit for the match against Tottenham following the international break.

Expected return date: November 23 – Tottenham Hotspur (H)

Gabriel Martinelli

Gabriel Martinelli has been recuperating from an injury that has kept him out of the last four matches.

The Gunners are optimistic about having Martinelli back in training and available for selection once the international break concludes.

Expected return date: November 23 – Tottenham Hotspur (H)

Gabriel Jesus

Gabriel Jesus has been out of action due to a knee injury he sustained back in January.

The Gunners are optimistic about having Martinelli return to training and be available for selection when the international break concludes.

Expected return date: November 23 – Tottenham Hotspur (H)

Gabriel Jesus

Gabriel Jesus has been out due to a knee injury he sustained in January.

Following surgery, the striker has been progressively working on his fitness with the goal of rejoining the matchday squad later in the season.

Expected return date: December/January
