What's going on with Bukayo Saka? Arsenal and England winger losing his talismanic status at pivotal moment for club and country

Still waiting on return Odegaard (knee) is out for Sunday's Carabao Cup Final against Manchester City.

Impact Odegaard looks to be still recovering as his club takes a cautious approach, with the attacker still not an option. He will have the international break over the next week to focus on recovery, hopefully an option to play soon after. He last played in February, as the club continues to play and lead the league without their star midfielder.

Potential option for Cup final Odegaard (knee) is a late call for Sunday's FA Cup final against Manchester City, according to manager Mikel Arteta. We have another session, so let's see if [he] can make it.

Impact Odegaard will need to be tested and train ahead of Sunday's contest, with that hopefully making the midfielder an option. If he does appear, it is unknown what role he will hold in such a major match, potentially not an option for most of the match after only two appearances since the start of February. That said, a bench role will likely be his role to start if fit, working back into a starting role as minutes build up, although he will have to make the team sheet first.

Impact Odegaard is ruled out for Tuesday's Champions League clash against Bayer Leverkusen and is doubtful for Sunday's Carabao Cup match against Manchester City due to a knee injury that has already forced him to miss five straight matches. The Norwegian will be evaluated over the coming days to monitor the progress of the injury. The midfielder has featured only twice since early February due to recurring injury issues, with Eberechi Eze expected to continue in the starting XI.

Out against Everton Odegaard (knee) is ruled out for Saturday's clash against Everton.

Impact Odegaard will miss Saturday's clash against Everton as he continues to deal with a knee injury that has already kept him out of the last four matches. The midfielder was considered a late call but ultimately was not fit enough to feature. Odegaard has only played twice since the start of February due to repeated injury issues, and the club may choose to remain cautious to avoid another setback, with Eberechi Eze starting in his absence.

Impact Odegaard is still dealing with his injury, but could make a return after missing out midweek, now a late call to face the Toffees. The midfielder will then hope to end his brutal run of injuries, having only played twice since the start of February. Even if he is an option, a bench spot is likely, not wanting to risk further injury after multiple relapses this season.

Impact Odegaard doesn't look ready to rejoin the action for the Gunners just yet, as he's still battling a knee issue that has sidelined him for four of the last five games. The playmaker will likely need additional recovery time, with a potential return targeted for late March if everything stays on track. It's a significant setback for Arsenal, considering the captain is a locked-in starter when fully fit. In his absence, the starting XI has to be reshuffled, with Eberechi Eze or Kai Havertz to step into the number 10 role to run the attack while Odegaard remains on the sidelines.

Left on sidelines Odegaard (knee) is out for Wednesday's match against Brighton.

Impact Odegaard is not yet an option despite the late call for Wednesday, with the knee injury still a lingering issue. This remains a heated point, as the medical staff continues to fail to have a key midfielder fit, missing 13 games this season due to injury. A return in Cup play could take place this weekend, although it is unknown whether they will risk him against Mansfield.

Questionable for Wednesday Odegaard (knee) is questionable for Wednesday's match against Brighton, according to manager Mikel Aretea. "We have to wait and see how comfortable he is to do certain actions."

Impact Odegaard has been on the verge of a return for weeks and continues to work towards being an option, once again left as a late call. He should be subjected to some testing ahead of the match, deciding how much time he could receive, if any at all. With some doubts remaining, the midfielder will likely find the bench if deemed fit enough for the team sheet.

Impact Odegaard is not going to play Sunday as he is still recovering from some knee pain despite appearing off the bench in his last outing. This looks to be to preserve the player and ensure no further injury, with a busy few weeks ahead for the club. With two more games in quick succession this coming week, it is unknown if the club will push him again until fully ready, especially with massive UCL matches ahead.

Assists in return Odegaard assisted once to go with zero corners and one chance created in Sunday's 4-1 win over Tottenham Hotspur.

Impact After missing the last two matches due to a knee injury, Odegaard made his return to the pitch Sunday when he replaced Eberechi Eze in the 77th minute. He made an impact in his return as he assisted Viktor Gyokeres' goal in the 94th minute which put the icing on the cake of a dominant rivalry win. Now that he's back healthy, there's a good chance he'll return to the starting XI Sunday in the important match versus Chelsea.

Picked for bench Odegaard (knee) is on the bench for Sunday's match against Tottenham.

Impact Odegaard is no longer injured and is finally back fit Sunday, with the midfielder picked for the bench. He will likely see time to test his legs before a return to the starting XI, hoping to prevent further injury after already missing quite a bit of time this season, looking to add to his five-goal contributions.

Impact Odegaard looks to be a late call for Sunday and will need some testing, with a late fitness test to decide his availability. That said, he should attempt to train on Saturday again, with that giving a good perspective of where he is in health. The major concern is whether he will be able to start or not, possibly beginning on the bench after two games missed and being a late call.

Impact Odegaard is not going to be an option Wednesday and will save himself another match, instead focusing his return on the North London Derby on Sunday. This is already the midfielder's 12th missed match of the season, a rough spell as the club has had to do without their lead attacking midfielder at full health for much of the season. He will now focus on the match against Tottenham, looking to add to his five-goal contributions this season and earn the start in his return.

Impact Odegaard is still dealing with his minor knee injury and will now need further testing ahead of Wednesday's match, unlikely to continue missing much more time. The club will hope for his return after he missed the FA Cup game, likely left out for cautious reasons against a weaker opponent. He is a crucial starter for the club, so his return is being awatied on, recording one goal and four assists this season.

Impact Odegaard only played 45 minutes Thursday from the bench but was dealing with some issues after, as he overstretched his leg, injuring his knee in the process. The good news for the midfielder is that it does appear to be minor, as he will be tested and see how he feels ahead of Sunday's FA Cup match. Even if they do decide to rest him for the non-league match and against a weaker opponent, he appears to be unlikely to miss much more time, only dealing with soreness thus far.

Arsenal Drop Crucial Points At Brentford As Their Premier League Lead Shrinks

Quiet 45-minute outing in return Odegaard took one shot (zero on goal) and sent in one cross (zero accurate) as a substitute in Thursday's 1-1 draw against Brentford.

Impact Odegaard was healthy enough to play the second half of the midweek game after missing one match with a minor issue. The midfielder had delivered an assist off the bench in his last appearance before suffering the injury, and he could now be a solid option for offensive production and perhaps a few set pieces if he features in a No. 10 role in Kai Havertz's (strain) absence.
