Arsenal Captain Odegaard and Calafiori Out for North London Derby
Arsenal will be without their captain Martin Odegaard and defender Riccardo Calafiori for the crucial North London derby against Tottenham Hotspur. Both players have been ruled out due to ankle injuries sustained before the international break.
Mikel Arteta, the Arsenal manager, has made three changes to the starting lineup that faced Brighton in their previous match. Gabriel Martinelli and Jorginho will replace Raheem Sterling and Gabriel Jesus in the starting XI.
The absence of Odegaard and Calafiori will be a significant blow for Arsenal, as both players have been key contributors to the team’s success this season. However, Arteta will be hoping that the remaining players can step up and deliver a positive result in the derby.
