Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta has given an update on the team's injury status ahead of their upcoming Premier League match against Newcastle United. Unfortunately, it seems that both Riccardo Calafiori and Martin Odegaard will not be available for this important game. However, there is some good news as Gabriel Magalhaes is expected to make an appearance on the field.
Calafiori, who was a big summer signing for the club, has not been able to play in the last two matches due to an injury he sustained during the Champions League match against Shakhtar Donetsk. And Odegaard, who has been out of action for a while now, was also unable to recover in time for this game, despite rumors suggesting otherwise. This is a blow for the team, as they will have to rely on other players to step up in their absence.
On a positive note, Arteta shared that Gabriel is most likely going to start in the match against Newcastle. The Brazilian defender had to leave the previous game against Liverpool due to an injury, but it seems that he has recovered well and will be joining his teammates on the trip to St. James' Park. However, there is a slight concern as he has not trained yet, but the manager is hopeful that he will be able to do so before the game.
Speaking about Gabriel's progress, Arteta said, "Yes, it's good news on Gabriel. We have a training session today and if he's able to participate, he will be included in the squad. He hasn't trained yet but there is a chance he will be ready for tomorrow's game." This is a relief for the team, especially as they are currently third in the Premier League and will need all their key players for this crucial match.
But it's not all good news, as there are still uncertainties surrounding Ben White's availability for the game. Arteta revealed that the defender was unable to train and they will have to wait and see how he feels before making a decision. It's a tense time for the team, but they are hopeful that White will be able to join them on the field.
When asked about Odegaard's progress, Arteta shared, "Now is the stage when he's going to start to do certain work with us. We will have to see if he can handle the physical demands and if he can compete. But from what we've seen so far, I would be surprised if he's not ready to join us in training soon." The team is eagerly awaiting his return and they are confident that he will be able to contribute to their success once again.
The team will continue to monitor the players' conditions and make decisions accordingly. Fans will have to wait and see who will be available for the game, but one thing is for sure - the team is determined to give their best and secure a victory against Newcastle. Stay tuned for more updates on this developing story.
