Mikel Arteta provides updates on key Arsenal players ahead of the Carabao Cup final against Manchester City. Leandro Trossard is confirmed as “okay” and ready for action this week. However, the status of Martin Odegaard remains uncertain. Arteta states, “We’re really pushing to make Odegaard fit for the Carabao Cup final,” emphasizing the need for player availability. Jurrien Timber’s situation is also unclear, with Arteta noting it’s a “matter of days.” Meanwhile, Bukayo Saka struggles for form, drawing criticism from ESPN’s Steve Nicol, who labels him as “absolutely struggling.” Don Hutchison adds that Saka’s extensive game time and potential over-coaching may be factors in his decline. Arsenal aims for their first trophy of the season as they navigate a busy fixture schedule, including a Champions League tie against Bayer Leverkusen.
