If Mikel Arteta didn’t already have enough to ponder from a team selection point of view ahead of the North London derby, Arsenal may now have another injury issue.
Upon joining up for international duty with Norway, Arsenal captain Martin Odegaard has been labelled a doubt ahead of his country’s meeting with Kazakhstan.
Odegaard has a fresh injury according to Stale Solbakken, not just the knock he took against Brighton & Hove Albion last weekend.
The Norwegian was grimacing in pain on the bench when he came off, seemingly as disappointed with his pain as he was with the events on the pitch.
Following Declan Rice’s controversial red card, Arsenal will already be without one of their key midfielders against Tottenham Hotspur, and perhaps they may now need an Odegaard replacement.
