Arsenal confirm Martin Odegaard injury timeline as Gunners hit by fresh problems

Arsenal boss Mikel Arteta has confirmed that Martin Odegaard could be out until after the October international break. The Gunners captain has missed the club's last three matches following an ankle injury he suffered while playing for Norway against Spain on international duty.

Arteta said of Odegaard's ankle injury: "I think it will be a matter of weeks, but how long exactly I cannot tell.

"We might get a surprise but I think it's unlikely he'll be back before the international break."
