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.

It seems Arsenal is done with this season. Arteta shall stop to send his players to the Internationals. This is because his players often comeback injured. Odegaard and Merino are injured. Rice is suspended for two yellow cards.
The weirdest thing is that Odegaard had knock in our last game against Brighton. I don't know why Arsenal let him go. Why aren't they stopping him from playing in useless games? Any big team would have stopped him go.
Odegaard is definitively out against Spurs. Hope he gets well soon
