ARSENAL and Norway captain, Martin Odegaard is expected to miss the North London derby against Tottenham Hotspur on Sunday after picking up an injury.
The 25-year-old former Real Madrid midfielder picked up an ankle injury during Norway's Nations League win over Austria as he was seen limping out of the match.
According to Norway team doctor, Ola Sand, the Arsenal midfielder will be on his way to London where he will have his injury examined by the Arsenal medical team to know how bad the injury is.
“He is on his way to London and will have an MRI there later today," Sand told Norwegian newspaper VG.
Asked what his initial prognosis was, Sand added: "Nothing but a strong overstepping and that we await what Arsenal find."
Odegaard injury is set to be a further setback for Arsenal boss Mikel Arteta, who is already without the suspended Declan Rice and the injured Merino for this weekend's derby clash at Tottenham.
