Video: Big blow for Arsenal as Martin Odegaard suffers ankle injury on Int’l duty | OneFootball

Arsenal captain Martin Odegaard was substituted on international duty after twisting his ankle.

The Norway international played the full 90 minutes against Kazakhstan last week. He was once again in the starting line-up against Austria tonight.

The 25-year-old was unable to make any impact in the final third and he was eventually substituted in the 67th minute after suffering an ankle knock.

Odegaard went off the field limping and grimacing in pain. This is a huge blow for the Gunners ahead of their north London derby against Tottenham Hotspur.

Odegaard has been a huge influence for the Gunners from the number 10 role. His distribution and link-up play in the final third has contributed to the club’s progress.

The club captain will be assessed over the coming days. The Gunners faithful will be hoping that he can recover in time for Sunday’s visit of the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.
