It seemed he could be expected to recover quickly. Because if you look at the report from the medical doctor for the Norwegian national team, it turns out that Odegaard only suffered a minor ankle injury. So maybe he will recover faster than we thought. But the problem is that sometimes he will be given more rest to prevent the risk of more serious injury. Mikel Arteta must be very unhappy with this news. But this is a risk that every club must bear when their players have to defend their respective national teams during the international break.

I thought it was in the right of the coach to lie that his player had a slight injury and could not be released to support his national team. This is what Mikel Arteta should have done from the very beginning. A player like Odegard should not have left for such a competition when he has a lot to do as a captain and the best player in Arsenal. It's all over in social media where fans are complaining and lamenting on his behalf. If he doesn't recover soon the Arsenal fans don't know how the team cope in his absence.

Arteta must feel confused about the current situation. Because in a few days they will face the London derby against Tottenham. And their opponents also cannot be taken lightly because we know that Tottenham is one of the strongest teams in the Premier League. Meanwhile, Arteta will not be able to keep Arsenal in optimal condition. Odegaard's injury is one of the things this team is most afraid of this season. this and now is happening. And apart from Odegaard, we also know that Declan Rice cannot be played due to the red card he received in the previous match against Brighton. Maybe the path that can be chosen is to reduce Trossard to midfield and play Raheem Sterling as well in this match, which will also be this player's debut at Arsenal.
