Arsenal captain Martin Odegaard looks certain to miss Sunday's North London derby after suffering an ankle injury on international duty for Norway.
Arsenal captain Martin Odegaard looks certain to miss Sunday's North London derby, at the start of a tough week for the Gunners, after suffering an ankle injury on international duty for Norway. Odegaard was carried off the pitch after injurying his ankle during a Nations League game with Austria. Norway coach Stale Solbakken told broadcaster TV2: 'It looked bad in the dressing room too.
Odegaard was the most creative player in the Premier League last season, with the Arsenal captain topping the expected assist tally of 11.17. The only player who got close to that mark was team-mate Bukayo Saka, who got 11. But it is his role in Arsenal's pressing where Odegaard is so vital. No player won more possessions in the final third than him last season, while only five players have managed more pressures leading to a turnover than the Gunners midfielder.
