🚨 BREAKING: Arsenal captain set for a further month out of action | OneFootball

Arsenal midfielder Martin Ødegaard is expected to remain sidelined until after the upcoming international break in November due to a knee injury.

The 26-year-old sustained the issue during Arsenal's victory over West Ham on October 4, where he was substituted in the first half after appearing to be in discomfort.

Following the match, the club confirmed that Ødegaard had suffered a medial collateral ligament (MCL) injury but no specific timeframe was initially given regarding his full return to action.

However, the BBC now report that Ødegaard is unlikely to be available before the conclusion of the November international break.

If the current timeline holds, Ødegaard will miss a number of key fixtures for the Gunners.

Domestically, he is set to be unavailable for Premier League matches against Fulham, Crystal Palace, Burnley, and Sunderland.

In European competition, he will also be absent for Champions League encounters with Atletico Madrid and Slavia Prague.
