– He has had problems with injury since October, he has even played matches with pain.
Real Sociedad’s coach Imanol Alguacil said this at a press conference before the Espanyol match, reproduced by the Spanish newspaper Sport.
On Monday it became clear that Martin Ødegaard had traveled to Barcelona to overcome a sore knee.
– He’s not going to be able to play all matches, or be in top form. We will have to choose which games he can contribute in, says the coach.
La Real has struggled a lot since La Liga started up again after the corona break. One point out of 15 is possible after five games.
Ødegaard and his teammates had steady courses in European games in 2021 before the pandemic occurred, but the poor results have meant that they are now fighting an important battle to get a place.
Real Sociedad posted a movie on Twitter this afternoon showing that Ødegaard is back on the training field.
