Arsenal have been handed a significant injury boost ahead of the Champions League final against Real Madrid on May 31, 2026. Key midfielder Martin Odegaard has returned to full training after recovering from a minor ankle issue, according to club sources.
Manager Mikel Arteta confirmed in a press conference on May 22 that Odegaard is 'fit and ready' for the final. Defender Gabriel Magalhães, who missed the semi-final second leg with a hamstring problem, has also resumed training and is expected to be available.
The Gunners will face Real Madrid at the Allianz Arena in Munich. This is Arsenal's first Champions League final since 2006. The club's medical staff have been working to ensure all players are at peak fitness for the match.
