US EditionArteta Reveals Saka and Odegaard Latest in Triple Arsenal Injury Boost
Arsenal face fitness doubts as Bukayo Saka, Martin Odegaard, and Jurrien Timber miss training; Timber has started 21 of 24 league matches, aiding 20 clean sheets this season.
- Last Saturday, Bukayo Saka pulled up in the warm‑up shortly before Leeds United victory, then both he and Martin Odegaard missed the Carabao Cup semi-final on Tuesday and skipped Thursday training at London Colney.
- Despite recent comebacks, Mikel Arteta briefly had a fully fit squad after Riccardo Calafiori and Piero Hincapie returned at the end of January, with a Netherlands international completing 90 minutes at the Emirates.
- Arteta said the medical staff will run further tests on Odegaard, who felt a niggle during the Leeds game, to determine his weekend availability.
- Arteta will speak to the media on Friday ahead of the visit of the Black Cats and is expected to give an update as Arsenal remain six points clear.
- Jurrien Timber has anchored the defence that kept 20 clean sheets and started 21 of Arsenal's 24 Premier League matches, but he missed training ahead of the weekend clash with Sunderland.
