Arsenal full squad revealed for Inter as Martin Odegaard decision made and four miss out

Arsenal have the perfect chance to bounce back from Premier League defeat as they travel to Serie A champions Inter on Wednesday. Without a win in three Premier League matches, and with a trip to Chelsea coming up on Sunday, it is a crucial game.

Although the extended group phase format allows for more slip-ups, a win here for Arsenal would put them in a strong position to automatically progress to the last-16 in the new year. With two wins and a draw already, things have gone well so far.

Inter promise to be the biggest challenge yet, though, and they sit second in Italy so far, just a point behind Antonio Conte's impressive Napoli

whilst Riccardo Calafiori remains out. Takehiro Tomiyasu and Kieran Tierney are also sidelined, but have been for much of the campaign to date.

For the first time in two months, he is likely to be in the matchday squad at least after travelling with his teammates to San Siro.

"Martin it’s great to have him back," "He trained with us first time today. He’s a bit earlier than expected. But it’s great to have him here and we will decide if we use him tomorrow."

Rice, however, didn't train prior to flying out, and was confirmed as being not only out for Wednesday but also a doubt for Chelsea. "Declan unfortunately picked an injury against Newcastle," explained his manager. "He was able to finish and he wasn’t feeling good the last few days. We’ll have to assess him on Thursday and see if he’s ready for Chelsea."

Ben White, only able to make it as a substitute at Newcastle, trained ahead of the game and can be joined by a large cohort.

Due to UEFA rules, Arsenal can include all of their initial 25-man squad as submitted after the summer transfer window in their matchday list, as well academy trained players added to the 'B' list ahead of time. Given the small number that Arteta is working with, it may well see players like Tommy Setford or some Hale End Graduates make it onto the bench.
