Another setback: Arsenal lose key player to injury

Arsenal captain Martin Ødegaard will miss the clash against Fulham, sparking concern among the London club’s supporters. The Norwegian’s absence from the squad is due to ongoing knee issues, according to Fotmob.

The midfielder had only recently returned from injury and managed to feature in three consecutive matches. However, he was substituted before the hour mark during the game against Atletico Madrid. That early exit raised alarm bells, which only grew louder when he failed to make the squad for today’s fixture.

This is already the Norwegian’s third knee injury of the season and his seventh fitness setback overall. Fitness concerns have limited him to just 15 Premier League starts, forcing him to miss a significant portion of the campaign.
