Odegaard Will Miss Out as Arsenal Sticks with Same Team for Chelsea Match

Arsenal has announced its squad to face Chelsea in the Premier League today, following last weekend’s North London derby victory.

After a 4-1 win against Tottenham Hotspur, Mikel Arteta has chosen to keep the same lineup as Arsenal gears up for another city clash.

Viktor Gyokeres, who scored twice against Spurs, continues as the striker, with Eberechi Eze retained in midfield.

William Saliba and Gabriel will again pair up in central defence, while Leandro Trossard takes the position on the left side of the attack ahead of Gabriel Martinelli.

Arsenal captain Martin Odegaard is not included in the matchday squad. Meanwhile, former Chelsea players Noni Madueke and Kai Havertz are on the substitutes’ bench.
