"The midfielder suffered a medial collateral ligament injury in the Gunners' win over West Ham on 4 October and had to be replaced during the first half. Arsenal released a statement the day after, confirming Odegaard would miss the current international window, but did not set a timeline for his recovery. However, the 26-year-old is set to remain unavailable until after the next set of international fixtures in the middle of November."
"The news means Odegaard will miss Premier League games against Fulham, Crystal Palace, Burnley and Sunderland, as well as Champions League matches against Atletico Madrid and Slavia Prague. The news will come as a blow to manager Mikel Arteta given Odegaard's importance to his team. The start of Odegaard's season has been plagued by injury problems, with the midfielder being forced off in the first half of three consecutive Premier League matches."
Martin Odegaard sustained a medial collateral ligament knee injury during Arsenal's 4 October win over West Ham and was substituted in the first half. The injury ruled him out of the current international window and he is now expected to remain unavailable until after the November international break. Odegaard will miss Premier League fixtures against Fulham, Crystal Palace, Burnley and Sunderland, and Champions League matches with Atletico Madrid and Slavia Prague. The injury compounds a season already disrupted by early substitutions in three consecutive league games and casts doubt over his availability for the north London derby on 23 November.
