All of Arsenal are praying for Martin Ødegaard. Coming off in tears on Monday against Austria, the 25-year-old midfielder is suffering from a sprained ankle according to the Norwegian team doctor, Ola Sand. Further tests will be carried out to estimate the duration of the attacking midfielder’s unavailability, but concern reigns among the Gunners a few days before the match against Tottenham.
The Arsenal captain could therefore be absent for the North London derby next Sunday. More bad news for the Gunners who see their midfield decimated on the eve of this match. Declan Rice, suspended, will not be part of the game and Mikel Merino, recruited in the last hours of the transfer window, is still not recovered from his shoulder fracture.
