Arsenal captain Martin Odegaard could be a major doubt for Sunday’s North London derby against Tottenham, as he was pictured using crutches to board a plane to London after injuring his ankle in action for Norway.
The Norwegian International picked up an injury in the game against Austria in Norway’s Nations League on Monday, September 9, 2024. According to reports, from Norway, the injury should be given concern to most Arsenal supporters as they face Spurs and Manchester City next.
Norway’s Team doctor Ola Sand,
“He got a small ankle sprain. We will see throughout the evening and [Tuesday] what happens next and what we will do about it.”
Odegaard will be assessed by Arsenal after travelling back to London on Tuesday but looks doubtful for the game against Tottenham at White Hart Lane on Sunday, September 15, 2024.
How long will Martin Odegaard be out for?
The midfielder is expected to be out for at least three weeks, which will automatically rule him out of the game against Spurs and Manchester City.
Riccardo Calafiori also suffered an injury during the international break, hurting his ankle in Italy’s Nations League game against France on Friday, but the defender is already back with the Gunners as he looks to get fit before the Spurs game. Arsenal are yet to release a statement on the fitness of both players.
