During a recent international break, Martin Odegaard, the talented Arsenal star, suffered a bad injury while playing for his national team, Norway. Christoph Baumgartner, who plays for RB Leipzig, has since expressed his sincere apologies for causing the injury to Odegaard. As Arsenal prepares for their upcoming match against Tottenham, they are concerned about the fitness of their captain, who had to be taken off the pitch during Norway's 2-1 victory over Austria on Monday.
Odegaard's injury occurred when he went over on his left ankle after a challenge from Baumgartner. Although Norway's team doctor has suggested that it is a minor ankle sprain, the full extent of the injury is still unknown. Unfortunately, it is likely that Odegaard will not be able to join his team for the North London Derby, as well as the next few matches, along with his teammate Declan Rice who is currently serving a suspension.
Baumgartner, while offering his apologies, also wished Odegaard a speedy recovery through a message on his Instagram story. He stated that it was never his intention to harm such a fantastic player and he hopes to see him back on the pitch soon. However, it remains to be seen if Odegaard and his teammates from both his club and country will accept Baumgartner's apology. In fact, one of his teammates, Leo Skiri Ostigard from Rennes, has even vowed to seek revenge against the Austrian for causing Odegaard's injury.
The timing of Odegaard's injury is certainly unfortunate for Arsenal, as they face a tough schedule in the coming weeks. Apart from the North London Derby, they will also be playing against top teams such as Manchester City, Leicester, and Southampton in the Premier League. They also have matches against Bolton in the Carabao Cup and begin their Champions League campaign against Atalanta and PSG. It is crucial for Arsenal to have their captain back on the pitch as soon as possible, especially during such a challenging period of fixtures.
