ARSENAL SQUAD THINNED AS INJURY LIST GROWS BEFORE PALACE VISIT
Arsenal's title charge faces a fitness test as key players Martin Odegaard, Noni Madueke, and Kai Havertz remain sidelined. Get the latest injury updates and potential return dates ahead of the Crystal Palace clash.

Mikel Arteta wants to keep Arsenal at the top of the standings as they get ready to meet Crystal Palace at Emirates Stadium on Sunday, marking another crucial point in their Premier League season. Their three-point lead over Manchester City might be strengthened this weekend thanks to their victory in south London earlier in the season. After a convincing 4-0 Champions League victory against Atletico Madrid, confidence is high. Now, attention turns to domestic issues and, most importantly, fitness issues, which still influence team selection.
With two home games in four days at the end of October—against Palace and then Brighton in the Carabao Cup—Arsenal is still in a tough schedule. With a number of significant individuals still awaiting treatment, Arteta must once more deal with important absences.
Odegaard's Continuous Recuperation
Due to fitness issues, Martin Odegaard's impact as captain and creative centre has been limited during his inconsistent season. His campaign was interrupted by a shoulder injury, and while he did play against West Ham upon his comeback, he was sidelined for what Arteta called "weeks" due to a medial collateral ligament issue.
To hasten his recuperation, Odegaard left Norway service during the international break. The serious injury raises questions about his match sharpness once he is cleared to return and could prolong his layoff past a month. His midfield leadership and technical mastery continue to be essential to Arsenal's rhythm, especially during games where accuracy and patience are crucial. The current goal for a comeback is to defeat Tottenham at home on November 23, 2025, which is a significant match.
Possible comeback date: Tottenham (H) on November 23, 2025
Madueke Wants to Get Back on Track
Additionally, Noni Madueke's initial months at Arsenal have been disrupted. After suffering a knee injury against Manchester City, the summer transfer from Chelsea has been unable to adjust to Arteta's method.
Arteta stated, "It appears that he will be absent for a few weeks." "We are not entirely sure yet. We will most likely need to scan him once more the following week.
At the start of the game, he had a feeling. Let us see. He attempted to continue, but at halftime, it was too painful.
Although Madueke had demonstrated hopeful signs of connecting with the midfield and full backs prior to his injury, Arsenal's wide options are still strong. An early boost when the fixture schedule heats up would come from a comeback in November.
Possible date of return: November 2025
Havertz Approaches a Crucial Rehab Stage
Following knee surgery, Kai Havertz has not played since the team's victory over Manchester United on the first day. Although there is a modicum of hope that progress could enable participation prior to the November international window, Arteta has remained cautious on the timing for his return. Havertz's technical adaptability will be useful, especially when modifying game plans to counter opponents with high pressing or low blocks.
Possible date of return: November 2025
Following an ACL injury, Jesus is recovering.
Due to an ACL injury that required patience and meticulous therapy, Gabriel Jesus has been out of commission since January. Although there have been encouraging developments, Arteta is nevertheless aware of the mental and physical strain of recovering from such a setback.
"Gabi is doing incredibly well," Arteta remarked. He appears to be in a great place, in my opinion. It is a serious injury, of course, and we must recover from it in a big way, but he is undoubtedly doing well and making great progress.
Arsenal has missed his liveliness, aggression in pressing, and mobility in the penalty area. A late 2025 return would give the team much-needed offensive depth before the season's pivotal moment.
Possible date of return: late 2025
DISCIPLINARY BLOW: MADRID PLAYER SUSPENDED POST EL CLáSICO TUSSLE
Real Madrid's backup keeper Andriy Lunin has been handed a one-game suspension by the RFEF for his aggressive conduct on the bench during the heated final moments of El Clásico. Real Madrid's appeal was rejected.

Los Blancos' goalie Andriy Lunin has been suspended for one game by the RFEF Disciplinary Committee for his involvement in the sideline dramas during the El Clásico's final moments. Although the cameras did not catch it, referee Soto Grado did record that he had sent the Ukrainian off.
According to Mundo Deportivo, the RFEF responded as follows when asked why Lunin received a red card.
The reason for Lunin, Andrii's expulsion in the 90th minute was that he had to be restrained by his teammates after he walked aggressively from his bench to the blonde bench.
The disciplinary committee of the RFEF
"When considered significant, those whose behaviour violates sporting order will be suspended for four to ten games or fined between 602 and 3,006 euros."
Because of Lunin's actions, which constituted a minor violation of the sporting order, he was suspended for one game. The ruling had been challenged by Real Madrid. However, the RFEF stayed steadfast, defending the referee's ruling and the evidence in the match report and on film.
Now, the backup goalie will not play against Valencia this weekend, where he is probably going to be benched. Fran Gonzalez and Sunico, both from the youth team, might be called up as the matchday squad's third choice, with Sergio Mestre serving as a backup.
No Barcelona players or any other Real Madrid players were slapped with bans following the two flash moments in the closing stages of the game. When Vinicius Jr. and Lamie Yamal argued, even players who were not on the team were spotted shoving on the side of the field. The RFEF, however, determined that nothing that came to pass would justify further prohibitions.
ARSENAL STAR DROPS CONFIDENT TITLE HINT AFTER STRONG OPENING

According to Bukayo Saka, it is feasible for Arsenal and England to win both games this season. The season has started well for the Gunners under Mikel Arteta's leadership.
Arsenal leads the Premier League standings by four points at the moment and is starting to look like a title contender. Manchester City is only one point ahead of defending champions Liverpool, who are seven points behind.
Saka, however, is not only interested in winning at his club; he also hopes to succeed internationally. Manager Thomas Tuchel has stated that winning the trophy is his ambition for England, who have qualified for the World Cup in the USA next year.
Saka is optimistic about his club's and his nation's chances of winning. "Yeah, that is my prayer," he remarked in an interview with Sky Sports. It is possible, of course.
