Arsenal captain Martin Ødegaard returned to training on Tuesday as he edges closer to a comeback from an ankle injury.
The Norway international took part in Arsenal’s session at Sobha Realty Training Centre ahead of their clash against Inter Milan in the Champions League on Wednesday.
Ødegaard’s last Arsenal appearance came at the end of August against Brighton, before picking up an ankle injury on international duty for Norway. Last week, Mikel Arteta said he was hopeful of Ødegaard returning to full fitness before the November international break.
Arsenal, who are fifth in the Premier League, have struggled in the midfielder’s absence and are winless in their last three league outings.
His return to training is a bright spot for Arsenal after a tumultuous few days, that include the defeat to Newcastle United as well as the resignation of their sporting director Edu.
