Since the start of the season, Arsenal has alternated between the good and the less good. Injured in his ankle since the beginning of September, Martin Odegaard was terribly missed by the Gunners for several months. The start of his absence coincided with the start of poor results for Mikel Arteta’s men, who are relying heavily on the prowess of their Norwegian playmaker. Back for a few days, the latter is already starting to enjoy and notably distinguished himself with a decisive pass before the international break against Chelsea (1-1). Questioned by the club’s media this Saturday a few hours before the match against Nottingham Forest (4 p.m.), the 25-year-old explained that he still believed in the title despite his team’s nine-point deficit over Liverpool, solid leader. .
“We’ve had a few games without a win in the Premier League, and when you look at the table we’re a few points behind. But the road is still long and we remember that last season, when we had a difficult period in December, we came back very strong. We are confident that we can get back on track this season. It all starts today against Nottingham Forest. I haven’t played Emirates since August, it feels like an eternity! It will be great to be back in front of you, and I’m sure you’ll all be ready after the break.»
