Arsenal offer ‘confusing’ Martin Odegaard update
The 25-year-old star was a part of the club photo for the Gunners. We can clearly see the captain sitting next to Arteta. But, you should particularly notice that he has a football right in front of his left leg. Many believe that this could be to cover up his ankle issue. But then, even Bukayo Saka has one right near him. So, it could just be to keep the picture symmetric. But, many Arsenal fans will surely be left confused if Martin Odegaard is having a serious issue or not.
David Ornstein speaks…
Renowned Journalist David Ornstein spoke about the situation on the Athletic FC podcast. He said that the 25-year-old may have actually endured ‘significant’ damage. As a result, he could be out for a longer time. Injuries such as these need at least 3 weeks to heal. So, we could see Martin Odegaard return on-the-field for Arsenal in about a month. Gunners will be hoping to see their star captain back soon. We, at footballexpress, also wish the 25-year-old a speedy recovery.
