Arteta acknowledged that he remained uninformed about Odegaard’s condition after the match because he had not spoken to the medical staff. Odegaard added another Premier League assist to his streak on Saturday yet displayed signs of weariness in the final moments. Despite this players should be available for the upcoming fixture.

Jurrien Timber: Status: Minor doubt
Type of injury: Knock
Possible return date: May 7 (vs. PSG)

The absence of Jurrien Timber from the squad before playing Bournemouth came as a surprise although health precautions appeared to be the main reason for his absence. During his post-match interview Arteta presented a negative perspective saying Timber may not play on Wednesday despite revealing a mild doubt exists about his availability. Yet Arteta always presents guarded post-match reports even with seemingly good team news. The situation requires a major surprise for Timber to be absent from the second encounter.
