Martin Odegaard, the talented Arsenal skipper, and his wife Helene Spilling have just welcomed their first child into the world. The couple, who tied the knot in a secret ceremony over the summer, took to social media to share their joy with the world. In August, they posted a photo to announce the pregnancy, expressing their excitement to meet their little bundle of joy.
Now, the wait is over and their son has arrived. Odegaard and his ballroom dancing spouse shared the happy news on Instagram, gushing over their new addition. Despite the recent arrival of their child, Odegaard has still been able to perform on the pitch, playing a key role in Arsenal's 5-2 win over West Ham last weekend and their 2-0 victory over Manchester United on Wednesday.
This Sunday, Arsenal will face Fulham and they are hoping to continue their winning streak, which has coincided with Odegaard's return to the team. The former Real Madrid playmaker had missed 12 games due to an ankle injury he sustained while playing for Norway during the international break in September.
Looking ahead to the match against Fulham, Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta praised Odegaard's contribution to the team. "He's a massive player, he has shown in big matches what he is capable of delivering. He brings great spirit to the team and his quality is essential to our style of play. I am really happy to have him back," said Arteta.
However, Arteta is also aware of the challenge that awaits his team. Last season, Arsenal dropped five points against Fulham and the manager is not taking this match lightly. "It's going to be a big challenge, as we experienced last year when we lost five points against them," he admitted. "I have a lot of respect for their coach and what they do, so it's always tough to go and play against them."
But with a win, Arsenal could close the gap to just four points behind Liverpool, and Arteta is determined to come out on top this time around. "We know it won't be easy, but we are ready for the challenge and we will give our all to secure the three points," he declared.
