Arsenal XI vs Inter Milan: Confirmed team news, predicted lineup, injury latest for Champions League | OneFootball

The Gunners have been boosted by the return of captain Martin Odegaard

Martin Odegaard could make his first appearance for Arsenal since August when the Gunners travel to Inter Milan on Wednesday night.

Odegaard, however, trained with his Arsenal team-mates on Tuesday morning and could make his comeback at the San Siro in what is a huge Champions League clash for Mikel Arteta’s side.

The midfielder would most likely be involved from the bench given how long he has spent out and due to the fact Arsenal travel to Chelsea in the Premier League on Sunday.

Ben White could return to the starting XI against Inter after coming off the bench for the final 19 minutes of Saturday’s defeat to Newcastle.

The defender was left out of the squad who won 3-0 at Preston in the Carabao Cup last Wednesday due to a joint issue. He trained fully with the rest of the squad on Tuesday morning.

Declan Rice, though, was absent from training and, at present, it is unclear if he will be involved against Inter.

Riccardo Calafiori and Takehiro Tomiyasu are both still out with knee injuries and are not expected to be back for Sunday’s game at Chelsea, either.

Arsenal predicted XI (4-4-2): Raya; White, Saliba, Gabriel, Timber; Saka, Partey, Merino, Martinelli; Havertz, Trossard

Doubts: Rice

Injured: Calafiori (knee), Tierney (hamstring), Tomiyasu (knee)

Arsenal squad from: Neto, Raya, Setford; Gabriel, Heaven, Kiwior, Saliba, Timber, White, Zinchenko; Havertz, Jorginho, Lewis-Skelly, Merino, Nwaneri, Odegaard, Partey, Rice; Jesus, Martinelli, Saka, Sterling and Trossard.
