Arsenal will be without Martin Odegaard for their Champions League clash against Shakhtar Donetsk on Tuesday. The Gunners captain is still out with a knee injury that he picked up in September when playing for Norway.

Arsenal manager, Mikel Arteta, has given an injury update ahead of the clash with Shakhtar Donetsk in the Champions League. Bukayo Saka, Martin Odegaard and Jurrien Timber were all unavailable as they lost 2-0 at Bournemouth last weekend.

Mikel Arteta has revealed he left Bukayo Saka out of the squad for Arsenal ’s trip to Bournemouth as the club not want to rush him back from injury. Saka injured his hamstring playing for England during the most recent international break and was forced off during their 2-1 defeat to Greece.

Arsenal will use the hurt from their first Premier League defeat of the season to deliver a strong response in their home clash against Ukrainian side Shakhtar Donetsk in the Champions League, manager Mikel Arteta said on Monday.

Mikel Arteta has urged Arsenal to use the "pain" of their first defeat in six months as motivation in Tuesday's Champions League clash against Shakhtar Donetsk. Arsenal are looking for their second Champions League victory of the group stage against Shakhtar after drawing 0-0 against Atalanta and beating Paris Saint-Germain 2-0.
