Arsenal boosted by positive Norway update on Odegaard's injury, says Ansser Sadiq

Gunners manager Mikel Arteta has suggested that he could be sidelined for over a month, however, Solbakken remains hopeful about his recovery.

He told Norwegian outlet NRK: "We are preparing with a plan with Martin and one without." 

He is referencing the October international break, when his team takes on Slovenia and Austria. 

Arteta stated this week: “After everything was scanned, the scan showed he has got some damage, especially on one of the ligaments in the ankle. 

"We are going to miss him. I don’t want to (give a timeline) because I am not a doctor but yes, it is something quite significant so we are going to lose him for a while. Hopefully not months, but let’s see.”
