LONDON (AP) — Arsenal captain Martin Odegaard could return for the Champions League match against Bayern Munich on Wednesday after nearly two months out.

“He was very close for the previous game,” said Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta, referring to the 4-1 win over Tottenham on Sunday, “so we are hopeful that tomorrow he can be in the squad.”
