Arsenal receive huge injury boost as key star inches closer to returning from a knee injury.
Skipper shows leadership beyond the pitch
Martin Odegaard got himself injured a little over a month back. But, he is still a very positive and strong presence especially in the Norwegian and Arsenal camps respectively.
The player is not yet cleared for whole match playing time. However, he was at Norway’s training center, staying with his national team players who are preparing for the big World Cup qualifiers. Odegaard has undergone recovery measures and took time off. He is receiving physical training from the national team’s staff, which is a sign of his being dedicated to both his club and country.
The slow yet certain healing of the player is a great sign for the North London side. His absence in controlling the midfield and tempo during the key moments of the PL games has been heavily felt by the team.
Arsenal eye timely return of their midfielder after knee injury
The recovery news of Odegaard is a huge boost for head coach Mikel Arteta. This comes at the time when the team is facing tough games. The doctors have been quite patient and have never undermined the healing process of the knee. That will be the case until he is back in the team’s training.
As per the insiders of the club if everything goes right he may be fit just after the international break.
His decision to travel with Norway despite being fully unfit shows his intent. This certainly shows the younger players a good example. The fans of Arsenal will be very pleased to witness the slow return to fitness of their captain.
