Arsenal captain Martin Odegaard is telledly hoping to be back in action in eight weeks. Mikel Arteta recently stated that he hoped his skipper would not be out of action for ‘months’ after upholding ankle ligament harm while on international duty.
But Odegaard could spfinish two months on the sidelines even if his recovery process goes to arrange, with The Mirror telling that the home clash aobtainst Nottingham Forest on November 23 has been earlabeled as his certain return date.
Arteta confessted, ahead of the Gunners’ Champions League clash with Atalanta tonight (Thursday), that medical tests had discleave outed ‘meaningful’ harm in Odegaard’s ankle and he would be out for ‘a while’.
The Arsenal boss shied away from putting a more definite timeline on his recovery, but if he is out for eight weeks as telled, the north Londoners will be without their key creative promote for the next 12 suites.
Heavyweight clashes aobtainst Manchester City, Paris Saint-Germain, Liverpool, Inter Milan and Chelsea are integrated in that run. Arteta will therefore have no choice but to leank on his feet and reshuffle his pack.
“(Odegaard) is our captain,” Arteta shelp during his press conference on Wednesday. “He’s been one of the hugegest and best applyers in our team. Our identity is very connected to how he applys and behaves. It’s a huge test for the team to see how able we are to show a contrastent face.”
