On Sunday, Arsenal travel to Tottenham for a Premier League northern London game.
No Squad fan wanted to see it during the global break.
With the Gunners now facing a couple of midfield students with Declan Rice suspended and Mikel Merino also sidelined ahead of Sunday's northern London derby, seeing captain Martin Odegaard floppy out of action for Norway was the last item Mikel Arteta would have wanted.
Odergaard suffered an ankle injuries in the second half of Norway's Nations League win over Austria on Monday evening, the schedule of which could hardly have been worse, considering the Raiders face Atalanta and Manchester City in the seven nights following their journey to the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.
Does Arsenal midfielder Martin Odegaard get fit enough to play against Tottenham on Sunday?
Arsenal are yet to post on the intensity of Odegaard's injuries, with Mikel Arteta according to face the press on Friday night.
The team is now looking into the wound after the player had an MRI test, so the status of his skipper may be top of the list.
Nevertheless, quotes from Norway's team physician earlier this year appear to indicate that the 25-year-old is a huge uncertainty for Sunday's northern London newcastle and is set for a spell on the outside.
" Such ankle injuries often take at least three weeks", Ola Sand told the Norwegian media. Anything other than that is just a bonus. And then it can take longer
According to the MRI examination in London," the ankle is probably not fractured."
Following their 1-1 draw with Brighton before the international break, Arsenal travel to north London to make the short trip, looking to reclaim their Premier League dominance, while Spurs have won one, drawn one, and lost one of their previous three matches.
