Odegaard may miss the derby against Tottenham: who will replace Arsenal's captain.
Arsenal's captain status
According to The Sun: Bukayo Saka is fulfilling the duties of the Arsenal team captain during the absence of the main captain Martin Ødegaard. The Norwegian midfielder hopes to return to the pitch in Sunday’s North London derby against Tottenham Hotspur, after missing the game due to a knee injury sustained during the 2-0 victory over West Ham on October 4.
Team's leadership group
Arsenal has five leaders in their group, including Ødegaard, Saka, and others. Saka has already demonstrated his leadership qualities on the pitch and has become an important element of the team during the absence of the main captain.
The injury situation within the team has posed a challenge, but Saka shows confidence in his abilities. Ødegaard's return could be a significant moment for the team, as he is not only the captain but also one of the key players. Arsenal hopes that both players will soon be back on the field to help the team achieve new victories this season.
