It has been an incredible start to the season for Arsenal, who currently sit four points clear at the top of the Premier League table.<\/p>\n

After nine league games, Mikel Arteta\u2019s side have lost just one game and conceded only three goals, whilst title rivals Liverpool and Man City have already fell behind.<\/p>\n

However, it hasn\u2019t all been smooth sailing with a number of player suffering from fitness issues.<\/p>\n

Injury expert Ben Dinnery spoke exclusively to EPL Index\u00a0and shared an update on Arsenal\u2019s injury struggles\u2026<\/p>\n

Martin Odegaard<\/p>\n

\u201cHe\u2019s out with a knee problem and I would expect between six to eight weeks out,\u201d said Dinnery. \u201cHe did have that shoulder problem but he was still able to keep his cardio up reasonably.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cI would expect for him to be reintegrated pretty quickly, but how and when that is done could fall based on how the fixtures plan out upon his return.\u201d<\/p>\n

That timeframe could see Odegaard return for Arsenal\u2019s festive fixtures against the likes of Everton, Brighton and Aston Villa.<\/p>\n

Kai Havertz<\/p>\n

\u201cHe shouldn\u2019t be too far away and will hopefully be back end of November or early December,\u201d said Dinnery. \u201cHowever, given his problems throughout 2025, he would be a player that will be managed a lot more in terms of his reintegration.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cAs I say with all of these injuries, there a lots of influencing factors like other injuries or suspensions and how things go on the pitch for Arsenal,\u201d said Dinnery. \u201cIf they keep being successful then Arteta and his staff can afford to be patient with these returns.\u201d<\/p>\n

Based on Dinnery\u2019s insight, you can likely expect Havertz to be back amongst Arsenal\u2019s plans regularly for those same festive fixtures.<\/p>\n

William Saliba<\/p>\n

\u201cThis one is a difficult one to diagnose and we\u2019re waiting for an update but it didn\u2019t seem to be anything too significant,\u201d said Dinnery. \u201cHe\u2019s already had a thigh problem this year, so you hope that it is just more of a precaution from Mikel Arteta.\u201d<\/p>\n

The Frenchman has already been ruled out of Wednesday\u2019s Carabao Cup clash with Brighton, but isn\u2019t expected to be out of the side for too long.<\/p>\n

He has been a crucial part of Arsenal\u2019s success so far this season, but both Piero Hincapie and Cristhian Mosquera provide brilliant depth behind him.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"It has been an incredible start to the season for Arsenal, who currently sit four points clear at…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":536665,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[4100],"tags":[161,173376,173377,173378,173379,30682,50025,173380,24446,173381,172898,173382,125265,173383,1123,94,1624,8586,80,101,79,16,15,10580],"class_list":{"0":"post-536664","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-football","8":"tag-arsenal","9":"tag-arsenal-captain","10":"tag-arsenal-festive-schedule","11":"tag-arsenal-fitness-update","12":"tag-arsenal-fixtures","13":"tag-arsenal-injuries","14":"tag-arsenal-news","15":"tag-arsenal-squad-updates","16":"tag-arsenal-team-news","17":"tag-arsenal-title-race","18":"tag-arsenal-vs-brighton","19":"tag-ben-dinnery","20":"tag-epl-index","21":"tag-escapist-magazine","22":"tag-featured","23":"tag-football","24":"tag-kai-havertz","25":"tag-martin-odegaard","26":"tag-mikel-arteta","27":"tag-premier-league","28":"tag-sports","29":"tag-uk","30":"tag-united-kingdom","31":"tag-william-saliba"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@uk\/115460709286239100","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/536664","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=536664"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/536664\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/536665"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=536664"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=536664"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=536664"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
