Arsenal are hopeful of Martin Odegaard being ready for their Champions League clash with Sevilla.

The captain missed last night's 1-0 defeat at Newcastle United.

The midfielder also was absent for last week's win against Sheffield United, though featured in the midweek Carabao Cup defeat at West Ham.

Odegaard picked up a knock and wasn't risked on Saturday.

Football.London says the 24-year-old was assessed ahead of the Newcastle clash, but was ruled out despite his injury not being a serious concern with there being a possibility he could return to action against Sevilla next week.
