Arsenal fans have been left wondering why their captain, Martin Odegaard, has been absent from the team’s last three matches. The Norwegian midfielder missed games against Burnley, Newcastle United, and Sevilla due to concussion fears.
It has now been revealed that Odegaard sustained a blow to the face during training the day before the Newcastle game after being hit by a ball as per The Mirror. This incident led to concerns about a potential concussion, prompting the club to take precautionary measures and keep him out of action.
Odegaard’s absence has undoubtedly been felt by Arsenal, who are currently in 3rd position on the Premier League table with 27 points in the 2023/24 campaign. However, they managed to secure a 3-1 victory over Burnley in their most recent game at the Emirates Stadium.
With their next game set to take place against Brentford at the Gtech Community Stadium on Saturday 25th November 2023 after the international break, Arsenal will be hoping to have Odegaard back in action. His creativity and vision in midfield have been instrumental for the team this season, and his return will be eagerly anticipated by fans and teammates alike.
As Arsenal look to maintain their strong start to the season and continue their push for success in both domestic and European competitions, having Odegaard back fit and firing will be crucial for their ambitions.
