Chelsea's Cole Palmer has made his return to training with the team, while Arsenal's Martin Odegaard is facing a potential injury setback. This news has left many Arsenal fans frustrated and questioning the club's decision to allow Odegaard to play for Norway during the international break.
The Gunners are currently awaiting an update on their captain's condition after he sustained an ankle injury during their 2-1 victory over Austria. Odegaard was seen boarding a private plane back to London with the aid of crutches and will undergo further assessments at the training base.
With already missing key players Declan Rice and Mikel Merino, Arsenal will now have to face their upcoming north London derby against Tottenham without their skipper. Norway's team doctor, Ola Sand, provided an update on Odegaard's condition, stating that he is doing well but they will need to monitor his injury closely.
Sand also mentioned that they may use ultrasound or an MRI to further assess the injury. This news has left Arsenal fans questioning the club's decision to let Odegaard play for his country, especially since he appeared to be carrying an injury before the international break.
In contrast, Chelsea's Cole Palmer has returned to training with the team after pulling out of the England squad last week. The young star has also been left out of Chelsea's Conference League squad in order to manage his workload and avoid potential burnout. This has left Arsenal fans wondering why their club hasn't taken the same approach with Odegaard, especially with a tough schedule of games coming up.
Many Arsenal fans have expressed their frustration and disappointment with the club's handling of their injured players. Some have even pointed to Chelsea's approach with Palmer as an example of how it should be done. It remains to be seen how Odegaard's injury will affect Arsenal's performance in the upcoming matches, but fans are hoping that lessons will be learned and changes will be made in the future.
