Mikel Arteta has revealed that Martin Odegaard will miss the next few matches after scans showed ankle ligament damage.
Our skipper hasn’t travelled to Bergamo for our opening Champions League match of the season after sustaining the injury on international duty with Norway last week, and in his pre-match press conference, the boss confirmed that Martin is set to spend some time on the sidelines.
However he has challenged his players to step up in his absence, as he has the belief that they can still get huge results such as the victory at Tottenham Hotspur while our skipper recuperates, albeit in perhaps a slightly different style than we’ve been accustomed too.
