Martin Odegaard

Nations League: Injury forces Odegaard to withdraw from Norway squad

“I’ve been through a long training period and when you haven’t practiced football in the last nine weeks, it’s natural not to be 100% yet. I need to listen to my body, complete this rehab process and get my foot back in good shape.”

Odegaard was sidelined for 12 Arsenal games after suffering an injury in September.

So far this season, he has featured in five matches across all competitions for the Gunners.

Norway currently leads their Nations League group, holding seven points from four matches.

With 61 caps for his country, Odegaard was appointed Norway’s national team captain in 2021.
