Arsenal's captain Martin Ødegaard has suffered an ankle injury during Norway's UEFA Nations League match against Austria, casting doubt on his availability for the upcoming North London derby against Tottenham. The injury occurred in the 64th minute when Ødegaard landed awkwardly after a challenge, leading to immediate concerns regarding the severity of the sprain. Norway's team doctor stated that they would conduct further examinations, including potential imaging tests, to assess the situation. This injury adds to Mikel Arteta's worries, as Ødegaard joins Declan Rice, who is suspended, and new signing Mikel Merino, who is out for two months with a shoulder injury. Despite being in pain, Ødegaard was able to leave the field without a stretcher as Norway secured a 2-1 victory, thanks to a late goal from Erling Haaland. The outcome of Ødegaard's injury will be crucial as Arsenal prepares for key fixtures, including a Champions League match against Atalanta and a Premier League clash with Manchester City.
