Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta confirmed that captain Martin Odegaard and winger Bukayo Saka will face late fitness tests ahead of their crucial Premier League match against Manchester City. Saka has been out since a hamstring injury last month, while Odegaard has been managing a shoulder issue after early substitutions in recent games. Arsenal, currently second in the table behind Liverpool, need a strong performance against eighth-placed City to maintain their title challenge. Final decisions on their availability will come after Friday’s training session, with Arteta emphasizing the importance of assessing their readiness before the weekend showdown.
