Arsenal will most likely be missing their skipper Martin Odegaard in their first EPL North London derby campaign this season with Tottenham after the Norwegian midfielder was befallen with an ankle sprain injury during their game on Monday against Austria in the UEFA nation's league. Source predicts that the span of the injury could take weeks to have him back to field. This means Arsenal would be faced with the challenge of coping with his absence in the midfield while waiting his recovery. What a debacle for the Gunners in the starting of a new season.

Arsenal will assess his injury carefully and will give Odegaard enough time for full recovery. He is very important for them but they need this player in as many matches as possible, not in some few matches. They will not take risk of using Odegaard too soon that can make him injured again.
Arsenal was really unlucky because was one of the key and effective players in this team and this performance in Arsenal was good but in the last pictures we see of Martin Ødegaard, he couldn't even walk himself and this shows he is going to be out for a long time. This player was injured while playing for Norway in the game against Austria and he couldn't concubine the game in the 67 minutes of the match.
Arsenal should think about filling his place in the game in both the Champions League and the Premier League during this season.
