"Arsenal have suffered a number of injuries to key players during the early part of the 2025/26 season. Captain Martin degaard is among them having missed out on Arsenal's 2-0 win over Athletic Club in their opening UEFA Champions League fixture on Tuesday evening. This weekend, the Gunners host Manchester City at the Emirates Stadium knowing three points will be essential to gain early ground in the title race, particularly given rivals City and Liverpool's respective starts."
"degaard spent an extended period out injured this time last season after picking up an ankle problem which left him sidelined for two months. On the whole, though, the Norway international's injury issues whilst at the Emirates Stadium have typically been minor with the midfielder having a propensity to recover quickly from small knocks and sprains. Bukayo Saka, Gabriel Jesus and Kai Havertz are all expected to be out for this weekend's clash with City, although Saka could be a late inclusion."
Arsenal have picked up multiple injuries early in the 2025/26 season, with captain Martin Odegaard among the absentees. Odegaard missed the club's 2-0 Champions League win over Athletic Club after landing awkwardly on his shoulder in the 3-0 win over Nottingham Forest. The shoulder problem was a recurrence of an injury suffered in the 5-0 win over Leeds, though surgery is considered unlikely. Odegaard missed Monday training and was left out of the Bilbao matchday squad. He previously missed two months with an ankle injury, but typically recovers quickly from minor knocks. Bukayo Saka, Gabriel Jesus and Kai Havertz are also expected to miss the upcoming City match, with Saka a possible late inclusion.
