Arsenal injury news: Mikel Arteta's Odegaard update for Champions League semifinal

Arsenal boss Mikel Arteta says two key players will be available vs. Atletico Madrid.

Arsenal fans, get ready for a massive night at the Emirates! Manager Mikel Arteta has confirmed that captain Martin Odegaard and forward Kai Havertz are both available for Tuesday's Champions League semi-final second leg against Atletico Madrid. While both players missed open training, Arteta put any injury concerns to rest, stating, "They are available, both in the squad. Great, because we need options."

The tie is perfectly poised at 1-1 after a tense first leg in Madrid, where both goals came from the penalty spot. Viktor Gyokeres converted for Arsenal, while Julian Alvarez leveled for Atletico. With everything to play for, Arteta is buzzing with confidence: "I can't wait. I feel the energy in and around the team. Together we have done a lot of work as a club and as a team. They have been waiting a long time to have this kind of night. Something amazing can happen."

Arsenal currently sit top of the Premier League table with just three games remaining, and they're looking to go one step further than last season, when they were knocked out at the semi-final stage by eventual winners Paris St Germain. Now, with key players back and the home crowd behind them, the Gunners have a golden opportunity to write a new chapter in their European history. Will they seize the moment? All eyes are on the Emirates for what promises to be an unforgettable showdown.
