Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta has delivered an injury update on Martin Odegaard, as well as other key players, two days out from the North London Derby against Spurs.
The Gunners are sweating on the fitness of the midfielder after he limped off an apparent ankle injury in Norway’s 2-1 win over Austria on Monday night.
The 25-year-old was spotted wearing crutches while boarding an airplane, but Arteta is hopeful he will make a speedy recovery once the club’s medical department complete their assessment of the injury’s severity. That does not rule out the possibility of Odegaard playing some part this weekend.
“We need some more tests so let’s see what happens in the next day or so, this afternoon probably, and see what happens with the extent of the injury and how quickly we can get him back,” the Basque native said in his pre-match press conference.
