Arsenal midfielder Martin Odegaard has picked up a worrying injury on international duty, just a few days before the north London derby against Tottenham Hotspur, and the Norweigan national team doctor has provided an update on his situation.
Odegaard was seen going in for a challenge while playing for Norway, twisting his ankle before plunging to the floor. The former Real Madrid man clutched his leg in pain and was unable to continue as he limped off the pitch.
With the Gunners facing their north London rivals at the weekend, Arsenal fans would have been watching on with worry. It’s potentially too early to tell whether Odegaard will be unavailable this weekend, but it’s certainly a worrying situation.
Solbakken Drops Odegaard Update
‘It looked bad’
Speaking to Norweigan outlet VG, Norway’s national team manager Stale Solbakken provided an update on Odegaard’s injury situation, suggesting that it looked like a bad one…
“It looked bad in the dressing room too. He didn’t have the nerve to continue. It is not certain that Arteta will call me tonight and praise me.”
Norway’s doctor, Ola Sand, also claimed that they’ve already been in contact with Arsenal’s medical team and suggested that they will take a closer look when the players are back at the hotel.
