BREAKING: Martin Ødegaard has been forced off the pitch for Norway this evening due to injury.

The Arsenal captain appears to have rolled his ankle and is now a doubt for the North London Derby this weekend.

I'm sure there's some Voodooistic Doctor Somewhere Sticking Pins in Wax Effigies of Our Players!

Odegaard crocked now. Unbelievable

No problem. ESR can slot into his position quite easily. Oh……….

You are thinking that. I am thinking that. The cone boy is probably wishing he had of kept fake vieira though

We really need to look at how we manage these situations, this wasn't a competitive game, no one cares about winning a meaningless tournament.

It was obvious he got hurt during the Brighton game, he should have withdrawn from the Norway squad, the club should have asked him to do that.

I don't begrudge players playing for their nation, in meaningful games, but these were friendlies.

I expect he'll miss Spuds, Atalanta and City (best case). Expectations for the league this season are back to the 4th place trophy.

I think it’s no longer just the international break - if we really want to compete in the league/ win a domestic cup then we will need to play weakened sides in the group stage of the Champions League.
We are going to qualify anyway with the top 24 going through.
I see that Chelsea have not put Cole Palmer in their European squad - good idea. This will be the only way from now on that clubs such as ourselves and Chelsea will be able to compete with teams like City.

Arsenal player injured in meaningless interlull horseshit. Wow. What a surprise......

Back to the good old days of the physio room full to the brim to the point of overflowing

International friendly football, the most pointless exercise ever

“Competitive” friendlies these days though.
This is the Nations league you are talking about

Anyone else buzzing for the England v Finland match this evening?

The captain would have gone missing against scum and shitty anyway so no issue here.

So would you have dropped him for those games anyway? If so, who would you replace him with?…genuine question.

Maybe I am remembering it wrong but I'm pretty certain Odegaard always plays well against the Scum, leading the press etc. Like it or not he is our Creative Hub and the team's systems and tactics revolve around him.
