Thierry Henry shares worrying Arsenal verdict following their Champions League defeat against Inter Milan

Arsenal suffered another defeat on Wednesday night this time at the hands of Inter Milan in the Champions League.

It is becoming a real testing run for Mikel Arteta and his side who have seen their early season form come off the rails.

The Gunners now sit seven points off the Premier League leaders Liverpool just 10 games into the new campaign.

And Arsenal’s struggles are now being reflected in the Champions League with the Londoners failing to even provide their traveling fans a goal.

Thierry Henry shares Arsenal concerns after Inter loss

Wednesday night marked Arsenal’s first defeat in the Champions League but it is now back-to-back defeats in all competitions.

Speaking on CBS Sports after the game, Henry unloaded his concerns about the Gunners ahead of their upcoming Premier League game against Chelsea.

“‘I don’t know what we’re going to do, to be honest with you,” Henry said ahead of the trip to Stamford Bridge.

“I actually don’t know how we’re going to go [against Chelsea]. I know today we were 1-0 down and we had to attack and Inter gave them the ball. I just don’t know how we’re going to get on.”

It was not just Henry who was left concerned with Paul Merson criticising Williams Saliba for his disappointing miss on the night.

Will Martin Odegaard be fit to play against Chelsea?

Arsenal were handed a major boost this week with Martin Odegaard making his return to training at London Colney.

The Norway international has been missing for a couple of months now after sustaining an ankle injury during the very first international break of the season.

However, he has now been spotted back in training ahead of the trip to Milan.

And speaking ahead of the game on Wednesday, Arteta provided an update on Odegaard’s injury latest as he returned to the field.

“He trained with us for the first time [since his injury on Tuesday]. He’s a bit earlier than expected, but it’s great to have him here,” he said.
