Martin Odegaard, a star player for Arsenal, was unfortunately forced off the field during a match against Austria on Monday night due to an ankle injury. His teammate from the Norwegian national team, Leo Skiri Ostigard, was seeking revenge after seeing Odegaard in pain from the injury. Odegaard had gone over on his left ankle after a challenge from Austria's Christoph Baumgartner, and had to be assisted off the field by Norway's medical staff.
Odegaard's team doctor, Ola Sand, revealed after the match that the player had suffered a small ankle sprain. While he will undergo further scans to assess the extent of the injury, it is likely that he will have to miss the upcoming north London derby against Tottenham. This unfortunate turn of events will surely frustrate Arsenal's manager, Mikel Arteta, who is already facing a depleted midfield with other players also injured while on international duty.
Ostigard, who was also infuriated by the incident, expressed his desire to confront Baumgartner and give him a taste of his own medicine. When asked what would have happened if he had the chance to do so, Ostigard coyly replied that he would rather not say. Odegaard's absence will undoubtedly be a huge blow for Arteta and his team.
Rennes defender, Stole Solbakken, who is also the manager of the Norwegian national team, shared his pessimism about Odegaard's injury but hopes for a speedy recovery for both his club and country. He also joked that Arteta probably won't be calling him to thank him for the situation.
Odegaard's absence will leave Arsenal without their first-choice midfield, as Declan Rice is suspended and summer signing Mikel Merino is also injured. With another player, Riccardo Calafiori, recovering from a knock and doubts about Gabriel Jesus' availability, Arteta faces a tough decision when selecting his team for the upcoming match.
Despite the unfortunate turn of events, Arsenal fans can still expect to receive all the latest news, exclusives, and analysis by signing up for updates on the team. This site is protected by reCAPTCHA and follows the Google Privacy Policy and Terms of Service.
