Norway boss issues concerning injury update on Martin Odegaard's fitness - as Arsenal captain continues recovery from knee issue

Those connected with Arsenal have been dealt some worrying news with the latest injury update regarding Martin Odegaard.

Odegaard suffered a knee injury during Arsenal's 2-0 win over West Ham on October 4.

The playmaker suffered medial left knee ligament damage and was expected to miss six weeks.

That timeframe would take him up to this November international break, but Norway manager Stale Solbakken has raised the possibility that it could be a lot longer.

Despite being unfit to play, Odegaard has joined up with his Norway team-mates in non-playing role as they bid to qualify for their first World Cup next summer in what would be 28 years.
