The 25-year-old has had a mixed start to the Premier League campaign and he has been guilty of missing a couple of big scoring chances.

Odegaard has now suffered an untimely setback. He twisted his ankle against Austria and was seen grimacing in pain soon after.

The midfielder had to be assisted off the field and there are now doubts over his participation in the coming games for Arsenal .

Odegaard has been the catalyst behind the club's attacking displays over the years and his absence would be a huge blow for the London giants.

Arsenal are scheduled to face Tottenham Hotspur and Manchester City in back-to-back league games after the international break.

If Odegaard is unable to be fit, manager Mikel Arteta will need to find an alternative solution in the number 10 role. It could be Ethan Nwaneri.
