Arsenal captain Martin Odegaard has suffered a potentially serious ankle injury while on international duty with Norway, raising concerns ahead of the crucial North London Derby against Tottenham. The injury occurred during a Nations League match against Austria, where Odegaard was forced off after a slide tackle from Christoph Baumgartner left him in visible pain. Arsenal's medical staff quickly contacted Norway's doctors for updates, and Odegaard's condition appears to be an ankle sprain, with further assessments planned. This injury comes at a challenging time for Arsenal, who also face the absence of Declan Rice due to suspension. Despite this setback, Odegaard remains a key figure for Arsenal and has expressed personal excitement about upcoming fatherhood, indicating a period of significant change in his life. The club and fans are anxiously awaiting more information on his injury status as they prepare for the derby.
