The Norway international picked up the setback on international duty last week and he has subsequently missed the next two games.

Manager Mikel Arteta has confirmed that the issue is quite significant and TNAT claim that he could be on the sidelines until November.

Arsenal have no plans of rushing their club captain back into action and they want him to be fully fit before making his first-team return.

In the absence of Odegaard, Kai Havertz looks the natural candidate to start from the no.10 role with Ethan Nwaneri as a substitute option.

Leandro Trossard can also occupy the attacking role, but he is better off from outwide where he can dribble his way into the box.

Arsenal face a tough test against Manchester City on the road on Sunday. They can make a statement with a surprise win at the Etihad.
