Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta has updated the fitness of Martin Odegaard, Ben White, and Bukayo Saka ahead of their opening Champions League match against Athletic Club.

The Gunners are set to travel to San Mamés Barria when they take on Bilbao in their opening fixture on Tuesday evening.

Arteta confirmed they will be without the services of Odegaard, White and Saka for this fixture.

However, he has also given an update on the progress of Kai Havertz and Gabriel Jesus, who remain on the mend from their respective injuries.

“Gabi, Kai, Ben and Martin are still out, unfortunately,” Arteta told his club’s official website.

“No, I think there are still quite a lot of things to go through. It’s very early to understand when and which week he’s going to be available. But he will certainly be pushing to be available as quickly as possible.”
