According to reports, Arsenal have reportedly been given a triple injury boost over the fitness of Jurrien Timber, Gabriel Magalhaes, and Martin Odegaard.

Arsenal published video earlier this month showing Odegaard training alone and using an antigravity treadmill to speed up his recuperation.
Stale Solbakken, the manager of Norway, recently stated that everything is “going according to plan” for Odegaard to be back to playing in time for the international window in November.
The Daily Mail claims that Odegaard is now about to take the next significant actions in his recovery. According to the source, at some point this week, Arsenal’s talismanic playmaker will resume grass-field training.
Despite the fact that Odegaard is improving, it is still unknown when he will be prepared to resume competitive play. Odegaard is unlikely to be fit for Saturday’s Premier League matchup against Newcastle United and will not play in Wednesday’s EFL Cup matchup against Preston North End.
If Odegaard wants to be ready for international selection ahead of Norway’s UEFA Nations League meetings against Slovenia and Kazakhstan, he might need to feature in at least one of the Gunners’ upcoming games against Inter Milan and Chelsea.

The Gunners are reportedly optimistic that both players have escaped severe injuries and won’t be sidelined for an extended period of time.
Gabriel is scheduled to have a scan on Tuesday to determine the exact extent of his knee injury, which he sustained during the draw.
After the game, Timber complained of calf discomfort. As Arsenal gets ready for four straight away games before the November international break, he will try to recover quickly.
