He played with injury for 10 more minutes before leaving the field! Guardian: Odegaard is expected to be injured for six weeks and miss seven games

The Guardian reported that Arsenal confirmed that captain Odegaard is expected to miss six weeks due to a knee injury. He suffered damage to the medial collateral ligament of his left knee in a collision with the opponent's player Somerville during the match against West Ham United before the international break.

It is understood that Odegaard’s injury does not require surgery, but he will miss the next seven key games, including four Premier League games (against Fulham, Crystal Palace, Burnley and Sunderland), two Champions League games (against Atletico Madrid and Slavia Prague) and one League Cup (against Brighton).

This is not the first time Odegaard has been injured this season. He had previously missed the game due to a shoulder injury. Arsenal are targeting his return for the north London derby against Tottenham on November 23.

During Odegaard's absence, Eze and the young Nwaneri will take on the responsibility of midfield creativity. Currently, Arsenal still have Jesus, Havertz and Madueke on the injury list. But the good news is that new summer aid Inkapier is expected to return from injury after the international break.

In the Premier League Arsenal 2-0 West Ham United on October 4, Odegaard collided with his opponent knee-to-knee in the 19th minute of the first half, and then continued to stay on the court for 10 minutes before leaving the field injured.
