Odegaard, Jesus, Partey - Arsenal injury news and return dates before West Ham cup clash

Arsenal's non-stop schedule continues to step up as they battle on all fronts in the hope of winning silverware, while the festive fixture list looms large in the background. Their most recent clash saw the Gunners take on Premier League strugglers Sheffield United over the weekend.

A hat-trick fromEddie Nketiah and late goals from Fabio Vieira and Takehiro Tomiyasu helped secure a 5-0 thrashing of the Blades. It was a side on form, despite missing key figures from the starting lineup such asMartin Odegaard, Gabriel Jesus and Thomas Partey through injury concerns.

Next up is a London derby tie with West Ham in the EFL Cup, with Arsenal hopeful that they can make it through the rounds of the competition. With that said, here's a look at the latest injury concerns that are facing the side ahead of their huge cup match on Wednesday.

Arsenal captain Martin Odegaard could only make the bench on Saturday as part of Arsenal's win over Sheffield United at the Emirates Stadium. Mikel Arteta revealed after the match that the playmaker had a slight knock, which football.london understands is a hip issue, but not a serious one.

What Arteta has said: «We went through all the minutes that everybody has played the last three weeks and some of them played an enormous amount of minutes. Martin has been as well carrying a little thing that wasn't very comfortable in the games. So we have players with enormous quality and we have to choose and we believe that it was the right day to do so.»
