Martin Odegaard is set to hand Arsenal a major boost by making his comeback against Inter Milan.
Odegaard – who has been out of action since September with an ankle injury – trained alongside his team-mates at Arsenal’s London Colney base on Tuesday morning.
And the PA news agency understands Odegaard will travel to Milan ahead of his side’s Champions League fixture at San Siro on Wednesday.
Back stronger.

The Arsenal captain, 25, has missed his side’s last 12 matches following an injury he sustained on international duty with Norway.
And although it is uncertain how many minutes he will be afforded against the Italian champions, his imminent return comes at the perfect time for the Gunners who have slipped seven points behind Liverpool in the race for the Premier League title.
Mikel Arteta’s side have enjoyed a strong start to their European campaign – drawing away at Atalanta before successive home wins against Paris St Germain and Shakhtar Donetsk.
Arteta is likely to provide a further update on Odegaard’s availability when he addresses the media at San Siro on Tuesday evening.
Why are you making commenting on The National only available to subscribers?
We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
