Former Norwegian national team doctor Lars Engebretsen has provided an update on Odegaard's condition. According to Engebretsen, the injury video suggests that Odegaard may have suffered a lateral ligament injury. If this is the case, Odegaard may be out for six to eight weeks, depending on the severity of the injury.
However, Engebretsen also notes that the injury could be more extensive, potentially involving the cruciate ligaments. In this scenario, Odegaard's recovery period could be longer.
Arsenal faces a challenging schedule in the coming weeks, including matches against Fulham, Atletico Madrid, Crystal Palace, Brighton, and Burnley. The team currently sits one point clear of Liverpool at the top of the table, and the loss of Odegaard could impact their title chances.
