Arsenal dealt potential major blow as captain Odegaard limps off

Arsenal have potentially been dealt a cataclysmic hand just six days before their derby against Tottenham - after Martin Odegaard was injured on Norway duty. 

The playmaker suffered an ankle injury after a slide tackle from Christoph Baumgartner and was taken off 67 minutes into Norway's 2-1 Nations League win over Austria.  

Aided by a physio on either side, Odegaard hobbled off in a worrying scene just six days before the North London derby against Tottenham. 

The 25-year-old had gone over on his left ankle and winced in pain. 

Norway are yet to comment on the severity of his injury.
