Arteta impressed by resilience of his side

Arsenal boss Mikel Arteta says he does not know the timescale of Martin Odegaard's injury.

The midfielder has been out for the Gunners since the international break, missing the north London derby win over Tottenham last weekend and the 0-0 midweek Champions League draw with Atalanta.

"We need to see the development in the next week or so, how the ankle reacts first of all and then the staff will give me an update on the timeframe and how long he’ll be out for," said the Arsenal manager on Friday.

The Gunners travel to Manchester City on Sunday for a 16:30 BST kick-off in the Premier League - the third of three important away games they will have played across a six-day span.

Despite the busy week, Arteta has been happy with the way his side has performed so far.

"We played against two very different teams but both of them are really tricky to play against away from home," he added.

"We had a positive result last night [against Atalanta]. We wanted to win the game, but if you cannot win it, don’t lose it. There are things to improve but as a team we are showing a lot of consistency.

"Obviously, we knew the schedule and we knew that it’s extremely rare to play in these conditions with three massive away games in six days, but it was what it was so we have prepared for that physically, mentally and tactically.

"We want to be in the position we’re in. We dreamed of this years ago and we're in this position right now. Let’s make the most out of it and let’s enjoy it."
