Mikel Arteta gave updates on Martin Odegaard’s health and Bukayo Saka’s prior to the pivotal Champions League matchup with Bayern Munich.

Now ahead of the club’s crucial second-leg encounter of their Champions League quarter-final clash against Bayern Munich at Allianz Arena, the Gunners boss opened up on the condition of the duo and whether they would be able to play on Wednesday.

Speaking at the pre-match press conference, Arteta said, “Yeah hopefully. Today we had only less than 48 hours to recover from the game. We have done very little training. We will assess them tomorrow and see how they are.”

Following their midweek match against the Bavarian giants, the North London team will return to Premier League action on Saturday when they play Wolves in an important match.
