Martin Odegaard concerned about his ankle ligament injury, which casts doubt over his return to action for Arsenal. The captain of both Arsenal and the Norwegian national team has shared his worries, but no clear timeline for his comeback has been given.
Martin Odegaard concerned fans and the club after injuring his ankle during a UEFA Nations League match against Austria. The ligament damage has already caused him to miss crucial Premier League games, including fixtures against Tottenham and Manchester City. His return remains uncertain, raising questions about his availability for upcoming matches.
Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta acknowledged the seriousness of the injury, describing it as a significant blow to the club’s title ambitions. “We might get a surprise, but it’s unlikely,” Arteta said. “Recent scans show he has substantial ligament damage. We’re going to lose him for a while.”
As a result, Martin Odegaard concerned the club further by confirming he will miss the Carabao Cup third-round match against Bolton Wanderers. In his captain’s notes for the match, he gave an update on his recovery progress.
“I think it was unfortunate to get the injury, but it could have been worse,” Odegaard explained. “It wasn’t a nice twist, and when it happened, I felt it could be serious.”
Reflecting on the injury, Odegaard said, “I’ve injured my ankle before, but this pain felt different. That’s what scared me. Still, I think I got away with it to some extent.”
“Like any player, my first question to the medical team was how long I’d be out. But it’s tricky to say for now. The early stages require rest and proper healing. After that, it’s about getting stronger and building it up again,” he added.
Martin Odegaard concerned fans and the club with this update, leaving Arsenal’s supporters hopeful for a quick recovery.
