Arsenal received very bad news at the end of the current international break, as its captain Martin Odegaard suffered a severe injury during the match between Norway and Austria in the European Nations League.
Odegaard was seen crying on the pitch from the severity of the pain, and he left the match in the 67th minute and was unable to walk on his foot.
According to the coach of the Norwegian national team, Stale Solbakken, the injury looks very bad, but so far the duration of Odegaard’s absence from the stadiums has not been determined.
The initial diagnosis of the injury indicates that Odegaard suffered a severe sprain in the ankle, and if it is confirmed that the tendons are affected, it is expected that he will be absent from the stadiums for at least two months.
Odegaard traveled to London on crutches on Tuesday evening to undergo accurate examinations and begin the treatment journey, and from his inability to walk, things do not look positive at all.
Odegaard’s absence will be a big blow to Arsenal, who are preparing to play the London derby against Tottenham in a week from now, and are seeking to win the English Premier League for the first time in 20 years.
