Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta says he is still waiting for a precise timeframe on Martin Odegaard's recovery from ankle ligament damage.

Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta issued an injury update on club captain Martin Ødegaard ahead of the Gunners' Champions League tie against Atalanta.

Arsenal captain Martin Odegaard has sustained "significant" ankle ligament damage that will keep him out of action for "a while" manager Mikel Arteta said Wednesday.

BERGAMO, Italy (Reuters) -Arsenal goalkeeper David Raya secured his side a hard-earned point with a sensational penalty save in a 0-0 draw away to Atalanta in their Champions League opener on Thursday.

Raya gave a big roar and was mobbed by Arsenal's players in the goalmouth. The goalkeeper performed a similar double save in the Premier League this season at Aston Villa to deny Ollie Watkins, before Arsenal went on to score twice in the second half for a 2-0.

Arsenal kicked off a massive seven-day stretch with a 1-0 win over Tottenham Hotspur in the North London Derby on Sunday, but there’s still two more crucial matches ahead of the Gunners over the next few days. First up is an away trip to Atalanta in the Champions League, but a showdown with Manchester City looms on the weekend.
