Arsenal captain Martin Ødegaard sustains Injury During Premier League Match
LONDON – Arsenal midfielder Martin Ødegaard suffered an injury during Saturday’s Premier League fixture at the Emirates Stadium, raising concerns for both the club and the Norwegian national team. The incident occurred during the match, leaving the captain visibly in pain.
The extent of Ødegaard’s injury remains unknown at this time,but the timing is particularly concerning with a crucial World cup qualification match for Norway looming. National team manager Ståle Solbakken has expressed worry over the situation, as Ødegaard’s availability for the October 11th match against Israel at Ullevaal Stadium is now in question.
Ødegaard recently delivered a strong performance for norway in their 11-1 victory over Moldova in World Cup qualifying. Solbakken will be hoping for a swift recovery for his captain ahead of the upcoming match. “It truly seems a little scary,” Solbakken texted to VG earlier Saturday, indicating the potential severity of the injury.
