New details about Arsenal star Martin Odegaard's injury have been revealed, and it doesn't look good.

Odegaard led Norway to victory in the Nations League on Monday as his side beat Austria 2-1, with Manchester City star Erling Haaland scoring the winning goal.

But during the match, the midfielder suffered an injury which could prove to be devastating for Arsenal's title challenge season as they face North London rivals Tottenham Hotspur and Man City in their next two Premier League fixtures.

And now more details about the extend of the injury have emerged, and Arsenal fans will not be happy.

According to Norwegian outlet NG, Odegaard was pictured using crutches and avoiding putting pressure on his left foot as he boarded a private jet at Oslo airport.

The midfielder was unable to get onto the plane unassisted, and required help from airport staff to get over to the plane.

Norway's national team doctor Ola Sand also confirmed to NG that Odegaard will undergo an MRI scan when returning to London, where it will be determined how serious the injury will be.

It remains to be seen if the injury blow will rule him out of Sunday's league meeting with Tottenham.

However, it appears to be unlikely that he will available for the crucial tie, as Norway manager Stale Solbakken expressed his concerns after the match.

"It looked bad in the dressing room too," said Solbakken. "He didn't have the nerve to continue. It is not certain that [Mikel] Arteta will call me tonight and praise me."

The injury comes just weeks after Arsenal's new midfield signing Mikel Merino suffered a freak injury in training just three days after joining the club.

The Spaniard came to the North London side this summer, joining from La Liga club Real Sociedad for a reported fee of £31.6m including add-ons.

However, during his first training session with his Arsenal teammates, Brazilian defender Gabriel landed on top of Merino, causing a small fracture to his shoulder.

Confirming the injury in a press conference, Arteta said: "Very unfortunate...he had a collision and he has a shoulder injury. It looks like he’s going to be out for a few weeks."
