Gabriel, Odegaard, Gyokeres - Arsenal injury news and return dates ahead of Bayern Munich

Arsenal's attention now turns back to the Champions League after a memorable 4-1 Premier League win over rivals Tottenham

Arsenal put injury worries behind them on Sunday as they ran out comfortable winners in the North London Derby clash against Tottenham Hotspur.

Ahead of the game at Emirates Stadium, Mikel Arteta was handed new blows. Most significantly, key defender Gabriel Magalhaes was ruled out after picking up an injury while on international duty with Brazil.

Those worries were soon put aside when a goal from Leandro Trossard and a hat-trick from Eberechi Eze gave them a memorable 4-1 win. The victory also moved them six points clear at the top of the Premier League.

Attentions now turn to midweek Champions League action and the clash against Bayern Munich. Arteta could be given some injury boosts ahead of that match.

Here's the latest from the treatment room...

Gabriel Magalhaes

Injury: Thigh.

The defender missed the game against Tottenham after suffering a thigh injury while in international action with Brazil.

What Arteta has said: "Gabi unfortunately picked up an injury with the Brazil national team and he's going to be out for weeks. We need to have another scan next Wednesday, and we'll have the timeline probably much clearer than we have at the moment.”

Possible return date: Unknown.

Martin Odegaard

Injury: Knee

The club captain sat out the game against Tottenham but seems to be closing in on a return to action after missing the last eight games in all competitions.

What has been said : "This week I’ve been working really hard on my rehab – it’s going very well. I can feel I’m getting closer every day and getting towards the final stages where it's a lot more exciting," said Odegaard in his programme notes for Sunday's North London Derby.

"I’ve been doing some pitch work and training, so I really feel like I'm getting there. That's the best part of the rehab, when you're getting closer to joining the team, you can do a lot more on the pitch and you can be more aggressive in the rehab.

"I feel like I'm getting stronger and stronger. I can't wait to be back now, we're on a good path and it's looking good. I'm really excited.”

Possible return date: Vs Bayern Munich (H) - Weds 26 Nov.

Viktor Gyokeres

Injury: Muscle

Gyokeres is another one closing in on a return, but also sat out Sunday’s North London Derby.

What Arteta has said: "We’ve put in a lot of energy during the international break, with all the medical staff as well, to try to bring them as quickly as possible.”

Possible return date: Vs Bayern Munich (H) - Weds 26 Nov

Kai Havertz

Injury: Knee

The forward picked up a knee injury in the season opener against Manchester United, but is closing in on a return to fitness.

Possible return date: Vs Bayern Munich (H) - Weds 26 Nov.

Gabriel Jesus

Injury: Knee

The striker has returned to training as he steps up his recovery from an ACL injury suffered last season.

What Arteta has said: “It's about making the steps day by day in a different surrounding. He's been doing everything on his own; now he's got very competitive players around him, and let’s see how he copes with that. But he's full of energy, I love the reaction of all his teammates when he first joined us and it's great to have him back.”

Possible return date: December.

Gabriel Martinelli

Injury: Knock

The forward is another player who is close to a return, and was an unused substitute against Spurs after recovering enough to make the squad.

Possible return date: Vs Bayern Munich (H) - Weds 26 Nov
