Norway manager Stale Solbakken has provided an update on Martin Odegaard’s recovery as the midfielder continues his spell on the sidelines.
Odegaard has been out of action since the September international break, missing several games for both Arsenal and Norway, including the most recent international window.
His progress is being closely monitored by both the Gunners and the Norwegian national team, as he is a key player for both sides and they are eager to have him back as soon as possible.
Arsenal has been cautious, resisting the urge to rush his return, while Odegaard is working diligently on his rehabilitation.
If Arsenal fans had their way, they would hope for his return this week to help secure a victory against Liverpool at the weekend.
However, that is unlikely to happen, but he is close to a return to full fitness, according to Solbakken, who told VG:
“Everything indicates that things are going according to plan, so it’s about the last steps when you have to train with opponents and in team training.
“It depends on how he responds to that, but we have a legitimate hope that he is ready.”
Just Arsenal Opinion
We need to have Odegaard back on the team as soon as possible because he has been an important player for us.
ADMIN COMMENT
So here are some simple rules which I must insist commenters follow….
You agree not to give any personal abuse to other Arsenal fans. Everyone is allowed to hold their own opinions even if you disagree with them. It COSTS NOTHING TO BE POLITE TO OTHER ARSENAL FANS.
CALLING ALL ARSENAL FANS! Anyone who would like to contribute an Article or Video opinion piece on JustArsenal, please contact us through this link…
Lets get him back in time to go away with Norway again , so that they can send him back injured again.
They say …” you never miss the water ,until the well runs dry ” . Surely the Gunners are not so reliant on ONE man that our season is seriously faltering at this point !!
No cut , no incisiveness , little vision meaning a clear inability to break down opposing defences and massive simple errors that are proving so costly.
Time for the others to step up :
Time to bring on THE young gunner.
Any team that is so reliant on one player really are in trouble.
And if that’s the case, then Edu and Arteta should really look into the mirror and see if they think their up to the job.
which I don’t.
So now we have to relay on information given by the Norway coach to see when Odegaard is going to play for us !!!!!!!!
Tell him to get ****
