Arsenal handed triple injury boost ahead of Man Utd clash and Martin Odegaard latest

Mikel Arteta's Arsenal have been handed a triple injury boost ahead of this weekend's clash with Manchester United.

Summer signing from Atletico Madrid Thomas Partey was man of the match when Arsenal beat Manchester United at Old Trafford earlier in the season.

But the Ghanian midfielder was forced off injured in the Gunners' victory over Southampton on Tuesday night, and was a doubt for the return fixture at the Emirates this Saturday.

Emile Smith Rowe also limped off in Arsenal's win over the Saints.

Arteta has since confirmed that both Partey and Smith Rowe have returned to training and are therefore in contention to feature for Arsenal against the Red Devils.

"Let's see how they come through training," Arteta said of the duo.

"They had some discomfort in different parts. We will have to wait and see how they evolve. Will still have some days until the game, but not long, so let's see how they are."

Left-back Kieran Tierney missed both Arsenal's Premier League and FA Cup meetings with Southampton, but stepped up his recovery this week.

The Scottish defender is also back in full training and could feature for the Gunners against Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's Manchester United.

Martin Odegaard trained with his new Arsenal team-mates for the first time on Wednesday, following his loan switch from Real Madrid.

He is also in contention to make his Gunners debut against Manchester United.
