Arsenal captain Martin Ødegaard has been pictured back in training just one day before the club’s Carabao Cup final against Manchester City, offering a timely boost ahead of Sunday’s showdown at Wembley.
The Norwegian midfielder, who has been sidelined with a persistent knee injury since aggravating the issue in last month’s draw at Brantford, missed several matches since.
Manager Mikel Arteta has repeatedly emphasized a cautious approach, stating the club was “pushing” Ødegaard for availability while assessing his condition daily. Recent updates suggested a potential return window in late March, with the final against City earmarked as a target.
Ødegaard’s presence in training pictures on March 21 has raised hopes he could feature in some capacity for the final, where Arsenal seek their first major trophy in years.
