Martin Odegaard Sidelined with Ankle Injury: A Blow to Arsenal’s Upcoming Matches
Arsenal midfielder Martin Odegaard is set to miss up to a month of action due to an ankle injury sustained during the UEFA Nations League match against Austria.
The 25-year-old Norwegian international limped off the field after a collision with Christoph Baumgartner, sparking concerns over his availability for Arsenal’s upcoming matches.
Odegaard was spotted using a walker as he boarded a flight back to London for further examinations, fueling speculation over the severity of his injury.
Arsenal’s North London Derby against Tottenham Hotspur this Sunday has become even more challenging with Odegaard’s likely absence, as the team prepares to face their arch-rivals without one of their key players.
If Odegaard is indeed sidelined for a month, he will miss crucial matches against Atalanta and Manchester City, dealing a significant blow to Arsenal’s chances in these high-stakes encounters.
The injury news comes as a double whammy for Arsenal, with Miguel Merino already ruled out for 6-8 weeks and Declan Rice facing suspension, leaving manager Miguel Arteta with a selection headache ahead of the team’s upcoming fixtures.
