ARSENAL boss Mikel Arteta has hinted captain Martin Odegaard could make a surprise return to action in this weekend’s north London derby.

The Gunners make the short trip up the Seven Sisters Road to the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium for Sunday’s eagerly awaited clash. 

Following Odegaard’s injury to his ankle when playing for Norward this week — with initial reports from his international side’s doctor claiming his ankle sprain could rule him out for three weeks — many on the red and white side of the great divide feared the former Real Madrid midfielder would be absent until next month at the earliest.
