Owing to this crushing blow, Arsenal are now set to face Fulham, Crystal Palace, Brighton, Burnley, and Sunderland in the Premier League without their captain. In Champions League, the Gunners will miss Odegaard’s services against Atletico Madrid and Slavia Prague.
He will also miss Norway’s international fixtures, making his absence even more significant as both Arsenal and his national team feel the void of their talismanic playmaker.
All eyes are now on whether he can return in time for the North London Derby against Tottenham Hotspur on November 23, the first game after the break.
