Mikel Arteta reveals Arsenal fitness boosts for four players | OneFootball

Mikel Arteta says Martin Odegaard and Kai Havertz will miss out again when Arsenal take on Wolves on Wednesday but could be back for the north London derby on Sunday.

Odegaard missed the FA Cup win over Wigan Athletic on Sunday, while Havertz has been sidelined for the last two games with a hamstring issue.

“For Wolves, he (Odegaard) is not going to be fit but for Sunday we are very hopeful that he can be with us,” the Arsenal boss said.

“Kai is the other one that, again, for the weekend is a possibility so looking forward to having him in the squad.”

In another boost for Arteta, he also confirmed defenders Riccardo Calafori and Ben White are recovered.

Calafiori pulled out of the match against Wigan in the warm up, while White came off late in the game.

“He (Calafiori) is fine,” Arteta said. “He was training with us today, feeling better, and hopefully he’s fit for tomorrow.”

On White, Arteta added: “It was just a bit of fatigue. He did a lot in the game and by the end of it he was feeling a bit of tightness in the hamstring but he’s fine.”
