London's "Arsenal" will have to manage without their captain Martin Ødegaard for a while.

The Norwegian sustained an injury during the last international break, and it has now become clear that the injury is quite serious.

The team's coach Mikel Arteta spoke about this ahead of Arsenal's start in the UEFA Champions League.

"Recent tests have shown that Ødegaard's ankle ligaments are significantly damaged. We will miss him a lot.

I hope his recovery won't take months, but for now, we just have to wait," said M. Arteta.
