"The 26-year-old suffered a medial collateral ligament (MCL) injury during his side's 2-0 victory over West Ham on October 4, when he was subbed off after just 30 minutes in what was Arteta's 300th match in charge of the club. The club would initially rule the Norway star out until the current international break without setting a timeline for his return, but have now confirmed when they expect him to be fit again."
"Now, according to the BBC, Odegaard is not expected back until after the November international break. This means that the Gunners captain will miss Premier League fixtures against Fulham, Crystal Palace, Burnley and Sunderland, plus Champions League clashes against Atletico Madrid and Slavia Prague. Arsenal's first match back after the November break is a north London derby against Tottenham on November 23, a match which Odegaard will be targeting to make his return."
