Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta says he is still waiting for a precise timeframe on Martin Odegaard’s recovery from ankle ligament damage.

Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta issued an injury update on club captain Martin Ødegaard ahead of the Gunners' Champions League tie against Atalanta.

Arsenal have been offered hope that Martin Odegaard could return in a month. The Gunners are fearful of losing their captain for several weeks after confirmation on Wednesday from manager Mikel Arteta of “significant” ligament damage picked up while on Norway duty earlier this month.

Arsenal kicked off a massive seven-day stretch with a 1-0 win over Tottenham Hotspur in the North London Derby on Sunday, but there’s still two more crucial matches ahead of the Gunners over the next few days. First up is an away trip to Atalanta in the Champions League, but a showdown with Manchester City looms on the weekend.

BERGAMO, Italy (Reuters) -Arsenal goalkeeper David Raya secured his side a hard-earned point with a sensational penalty save in a 0-0 draw away to Atalanta in their Champions League opener on Thursday.

The first save was great and the second was even better. David Raya came to Arsenal’s rescue in the Champions League with a double save from a penalty that was celebrated by his teammates as wildly as a goal being scored.
