There has reportedly been an update on Martin Odegaard’s fitness ahead of this weekend’s Premier League fixtures.

On Monday night, Arsenal fans were left worried after Odegaard suffered an ankle injury during Norway’s win over Austria in the UEFA Nations League.

Manchester City star Erling Haaland scored a late winner to seal a 2-1 win for Staale Solbakken’s side.

With the North London derby against Tottenham Hotspur coming up this weekend, Arsenal are now sweating over the fitness of their captain.

On Wednesday morning, an apparent update regarding the fitness of Odegaard was given by the Norway national team doctor.

Transfer specialist Fabrizio Romano wrote on social media: “Norwegian NT doctor on Martin Ødegaard’s injury: “Injuries like this takes minimum 3 weeks. Everything else is bonus”.

““They are investigating the MR now. There is probably no breach in his foot”, he’s told @vgsporten.”

The player who injured Odegaard, RB Leipzig’s Christoph Baumgartner, wrote on social media: “Hi guys! I would like to sincerely apologise to Martin Odegaard. It was never my intention to injure this player, I wish him all the best and a speedy recovery.

“Come back stronger @odegaard.98 [prayer hands emoji].”

Meanwhile, Solbakken said after the match: “It looked bad in the dressing room as well. I saw he was sitting with the physiotherapists around him but he had no chance to continue and we know it was an ankle sprain.

“Yes, it’s a sprain, and as those of us who had played football know, with luck it can turn out OK if the ligaments aren’t torn.”

He added: “I’m not really sure that (Mikel) Arteta will call me tonight to praise me.”

Team doctor Ola Sand added: “He got a small ankle sprain. We will see throughout the evening and tomorrow what happens next and what we will do about it. Ankle sprains are difficult to deal with straight away, so we almost have to see how things go forward.

“We will examine him when we are back at the hotel. Maybe we use ultrasound to look at it. If we are unsure, there will be an MRI tomorrow.”
